Some policemen in Tulsa that we have talked with seem to think sex trafficking isn’t a big problem. The facts indicate that there have been very few people charged with the crime in Tulsa. However, other evidence seems to indicate otherwise.

That’s why I found this article in the New York Times very interesting. You can read the whole article at this link http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/26/opinion/how-pimps-use-the-web-to-sell-girls.html?_r=3&src=tp

but please note this paragraph in particular.

While there are no reliable figures for human trafficking, the more we look, the more we find. The Brooklyn district attorney, Charles J. Hynes, says that in the year before he set up a sex-trafficking unit in June 2010, his office prosecuted no trafficking cases. Since then, the office has become a national model, indicting 32 people, with 10 convictions and no acquittals so far.

Please pray for HOPE918, One Hope Ministry and others at Springs of Grace who are seeking to be used by the Lord in this area for His glory.
