As watchmen on the nation's southern border, human trafficking is one of the main issues we are confronting in prayer. A recent article in Time Magazine exposed the drug cartels' growing involvement in the sex trade.  It is a troubling article, but I would encourage you to read it and allow the Lord to move your heart for renewed prayer and fasting to end this wickedness.
"You can only sell a kilo of marijuana once.  But you can sell a woman multiple times, even as many as 60 times per day.  
In five years, a woman can make as much as a million dollars for her pimp."  -Humberto Padgett, journalist
Mexico is the second biggest exporter of children in the world, after Thailand. These children get brought into the US, typically via Arizona, before being funneled to sex trade rings. Over 20,000 women and children are trafficked across the southern border of the United States where they will be held prisoner and endure years of daily rape and beatings.
Tijuana is now called the "Bangkok of Latin America," attracting pedophiles to this border city because of the easy availability of child prostitutes.
Please pray for:
    *   Rosi Orozco, Sen. Adriana Davila Fernandez, and Juana Camila Bautista, head of the Special Prosecutor Office for Human Trafficking.  Along with law enforcement, these women are leading the fight against the sex trade.  They and their families face daily risks of kidnapping or assassination.
    *   Pray that any attempts to undermine Mexico's new anti-trafficking law would be stopped and that existing laws would be enforced.  Lack of enforcement and prosecution is a major problem.
    *   Pray that the Lord would root out the systemic corruption, from police and judges to senior politicians, that allows these heinous crimes to continue.
