In Genesis 50, we read about the reconciliation of Joseph with his brothers, who had beaten him and sold him into slavery. Joseph forgave them without justifying their actions as anything but the evil they were. In verse 20, he said, "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives."
Theresa Flores is a trafficking survivor who understands Joseph. Her traffickers intended evil, but God is accomplishing his purposes through the ministry that was born out of her pain. Today and tomorrow, TraffickFree is putting bars of soap with the anti-trafficking hotline number in restrooms of hotels and other businesses in NOLA. Pray that trafficked women would get to a restroom, find those soaps, and call the number -- and that God would save many lives through Theresa's work.
