We are called to do justice and to love our neighbor as ourselves, even when it’s risky, because God is just and loving. Justice is rooted in the character and nature of God. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #untilthelastlockbreaks

It’s complicated why sexually exploited people stay with or return to their pimps. Some can’t because they don’t have what they need to leave like transportation or a safe place to live. Some are afraid to leave. And some have been so heavily manipulated that they might be experiencing trauma bonding, feelings of trust and affection for this person who abuses and exploits them, which makes it hard to see they’re being controlled.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Check out our blog for one woman’s story (link in the bio).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #untilthelastlockbreaks

This summer, a small group from @realityla called K-Town Kommit has been assembling and donating gift bags to After Hours for the outreach ministry. In August, they donated 138 gift bags; and this month, they donated 150! THANK YOU! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ These gift bags will lead to so many amazing conversations during outreaches and bless so many people on the track. We are beyond blessed and grateful for this awesome small group coming alongside us this summer in such a beautiful way ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #untilthelastlockbreaks

You matter. You are worthy of love. You make today better. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ These are life-giving words every human needs to hear. Suicide is one of the leading causes of death, and the rates are high among victims of trafficking and sexual violence. World Suicide Prevention Day is an important reminder to reach out to those you care about and tell them you love them and they make your life better, and to do so daily. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you’re hurting and feel so stuck in darkness, know that you are not alone and there’s nothing to be ashamed of. It’s okay to seek help because you have purpose and we need you here.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you don’t know who to turn to, you can reach someone at the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255, or text TALK to 741741 to reach a crisis counselor at @crisitextline. Check out @twloha’s IG for extra encouragement and resources.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #untilthelastlockbreaks
