“I WANT TO FIGHT HUMAN TRAFFICKING IN MY COMMUNITY…
BUT HOW?”
To end human trafficking, it takes the community, city, state, nation, and Church all doing something. By going through this series, you are taking the first step to equip yourselves to fight human trafficking in your own communities.
The initiative that the U.S. Institute Against Human Trafficking is launching is to create a team around the country that is collectively working to end human trafficking. It’s called the Abolitionist Project.
The U.S. Institute Against Human Trafficking and Kids Not For Sale are not-for-profit organizations committed to ending human trafficking in the United States. Their focus is to educate American citizens and legislators, disrupt sex trade activities, consolidate efforts for maximum effect, and partner with other organizations in this fight.

Why Does This Study Exist?
In 2022, Kevin was approached by several pastors after speaking at an event in Florida. They shared that they want their church to be more involved in the fight against human trafficking, but they were not sure where to get started…they were not sure where to become educated on the matter and put that into action.
Kevin took this to heart and approached the team. Not only did our team at the U.S. Institute want to provide an educational resource that spoke directly to the Church, but we also wanted to focus on how God has spoken to us about approaching the work of fighting human trafficking…fighting against sin and destruction… fighting for hope.
After months of working on content and bringing this vision to life, we are excited to provide this Bible Study Series that focuses on how the Church can bring hope to our modern day society and also become educated as to how modern-day trafficking is effecting our local society.
