Riassunto

Over two hundred years ago William Wilberforce felt compelled by God to fight the evil of slavery. Today, God continues to raise up people like him to fight modern slavery with modern tools and methods. With over thirty years combined experience in fighting Human Trafficking, the executive editors of this book find themselves inspired by many individuals who are seeking to combat this evil. Many are unsung heroes, caring little for profile, but are motivated by faith and compassion to respond with action. 22 modern day slavery fighters tell their stories and explain how putting faith into action can bring about change and save lives.
