DAY 1: CHILD PROSTITUTION...a voice for the voiceless









Thank you for joining us on this journey of prayer for these voiceless victims.
All of the following information was taken directly from the 30 Days of Prayer for the Voiceless booklet by Paul and Susi Childers.
* 10 million children worldwide are engaged in some facet of the sex industry. Each year at least one milllion children, mostly girls, become prostitutes.
* In Thailand, 10-12 year old girls service men in the sex incustry. They typicallly have sex with men 10-15 times daily and sometimes as many as 20-30.
* In South Africa, there are 40,000 child prostitutes.
* Children are more susceptible to HIV and other STDs.
PRAY... Psalms 12:5
~ that God would arise and defend the little ones
~ that God would raise up lawyers, moviemakers and government rulers who will bring an end to this savage exploitation
