The Exodus Road

Location: Thailand.
Mission: Rescuing trafficked victims. 
Detail: Covert operations scout the brothels, massage parlors, beer bars, karoke bars, etc., in search of underage victims. The tip has come from a credible source. Now we must gather intelligence and evidence to not only rescue the victim, but to prosecute the pimp.

The Exodus Road is a non-profit organization that is committed to fighting human trafficking. But they have a humble beginning. This week is Serve the World week at the Grove. For months, Paul has been talking about Matt Parker and his organization. FINALLY, he is here. As I sat and listened to him speak, I was shocked by the humility this man possessed. The Exodus Road was started because of God. If you had asked Parker four years ago if he would be doing this, he would've answered no. He began as a young pastor in the states. He was offered a director position at an orphanage in Thailand. Gladly, he accepted and moved with his wife to live there. He tells his story better than I do, so be sure to ask him if you ever get the chance to meet him.

As I've learned about sex trafficking, I have never seen an organization like The Exodus Road. They do covert ops throughout Thailand, rescuing as many victims as they can. It was amazing to listen to the stories of these kids who have been rescued. Read all of their stories! Right now, they have 15 different undercover operatives who are sent out on missions. Generally, the missions take between one and two weeks. The goal is to rescue as many as possible. On their website, they have a count of how many prosecutions to date, how many victims rescued, and undercover operatives. Support and encourage this group of people fighting the injustice in this world!
