Now What? Responding to Trafficking in Athens, Greece (AUDIO)

By Joy Kirkland, Aug 29, 2019

Human trafficking, i.e., slavery, is rampant in the world today. According to IJM, there are over 40 million slaves globally. One in four of these victims is a child. How are we to respond when millions are tricked and forced into providing commercial sex and laboring under inhumane conditions? How can we show God’s love through acts of mercy and justice?

Listen in and learn more about the heinous reality of human trafficking both here and abroad in these learning sessions from MTW West Coast's summer 2019 Equip Missions Training Conference.

In this West Coast Equip seminar, Joy Kirkland speaks about the trafficking situation in Greece, teaching us how to respond and what we can do. Joy and her husband, Philip, also share about the MTW Athens church plant and different ministries in which MTW missionaries are serving in Greece to bring the light of the gospel to a place with much trauma and trafficking.
