Few of us think of our fellow human beings as commodities, but several in South Asia make their livings by trafficking humans. Parents in need or in debt sometimes sell their children, especially their daughters, to these human traffickers.
According to news reports, hundreds of Nepali children have been sold and forced to do treacherous work as performers in Indian circuses. Some have been mauled by tigers; others have to walk the high wire or swing from a rope they hold only with their teeth. The children often are abused backstage as well. Those who cannot perform are sold to pimps to work as prostitutes.
Please pray for these children. Pray that they will be rescued.
Pray that they somehow will learn that God cherishes and loves them.
Pray that parents who are considering selling their children will realize the harm their children will face and that the parents will choose to keep their children safe at home.
