Your words brought me to tears, which is inconvenient as I am currently at work answering phones at the front desk of an ad agency.

I wanted to thank you for sharing your heart. We cannot earn grace, or it would not be grace. I can tell myself that over and over, yet it isn't until I hear a story like yours that I begin to really understand God's never-ending love for me. Keep telling your story, to anyone who will listen. Thank you for what you do to stop injustice in the world. Drain yourself of all the love you have to give, and watch Jesus fill your cup again and again.

Thank you thank you thank you!
God Bless!

Seth,

We welcome you and your family back to Florida! The Florida Coalition Against Human Trafficking has offices around the state. (I'm sure there's one in Jaxville.) Hope to meet up with you at some of the meetings.

This is in response to Andrea's post. In my humble opinion, a person of faith is always asking questions. My most frequent question is "Are you sure, God?" Please don't judge all people of faith. Most of us are just ordinary people trying to live the greatest commandment the best we can while "loving people where they are at".M2239

Seth, I can't thank you enough for your honesty, and bravery, in this post and for what you are doing for humanity. My mother is very religious; I, like my father, am an atheist. Given the fact that I grew up with my mother, I can tell you that there was one singular experience that led me to be a non-believer. When I was about 10 years old, a friend from school invited me to go to church with her. I enjoyed the experience, but my young mind was confounded by one concept, and I asked her about it. "How can he be the father, the son, and the holy ghost all at the same time? " She looked at me and said, "We don't ask questions." That was it, and it scared me. If I can't question, how can I understand? What I envy, and wish I had, is the faith, love and strength that many people find in religion. What I fear is the judgement, exclusion and hatred it inspires in others. I tend to focus on the latter, and far too often I have to prevent myself from judging those who are religious; your five conclusions have resonated with me, and I know I will no longer be so quick to judge. In the words of Gayatri Spivak, I have been "brought to crisis" by your words, and am grateful for it. Keep doing what you are doing, and please keep sharing. You are truly an inspiration. P13804

I love this piece- it completely lacks any molecule of masking. You put your heart and memories out onto the paper and have no qualms sharing your secrets with us. It's unheard of in this world and amazing that you are here, willing to help save the people who most need it.
Beautiful.

Hi Seth. I found your blog through David Fisher (haven't found out who he is, yet) and am so glad to hear you're doing something to fight human trafficking. I first heard the horrible stories of children in the sex-slave industry through Make Way Partners (makewaypartners.org); they are on the ground working with orphans in Darfur and Eastern Europe. Transitions Global sounds like a great organization to help those recovering from the horrors of human trafficking. Thanks for the info on them!

Thanks so much for sharing! Have a great weekend!

This is heartbreaking, and I'm so glad that you will use it to push you even harder toward being a light and a help for these girls. Glad to follow you on Twitter and I'll add you to my blog roll now :) Can't wait for the day that you get to say YES, too!

Seth, thanks for tackling a very basic, but central issue for those of us on the ground. "Depending on funding" is the on-going struggle of organizations working with survivors, which are usually overlooked for more flashy, well marketed anti-trafficking organizations. The way forward is to look more closely at where dollars are being spent. We hope that FTR continues to inspire the ethical operation of funding organization by blazing the way.

Best, James Pond, Executive Director, Transitions Global

2008-10-12T04:56:00.000-07:00

We have so gotten away from the sense that a world of threat and horror exists for many.....children and adults alike. We are comfortable in our own skin....sickeningly comfortable. Our 'pretty' lives are so much less than what God intended. To spend yourself on behalf of another, to participate and get your hands bloody in order to rescue.......well, isn't that what Christ did for all of us? Isn't that where the ultimate pleasure and satisfaction will come? We are to be the representation of Him. We have been empowered to be the representation of Him. Much of our society has killed that part of us that honors life...may we not be able to shrug off the gravity of what these children are living with.
