Human Bondage

Like the many-headed hydra of Greek literature, the problem of Human Bondage and slavery has many forms and is global in scope.  For the enslaved, life after slavery is merely a dismal dream and a mirage of disappearing hopes of escaping their misery.

One person can make a difference!  This is the story of how one person can make a real difference in lives of many in bondage.  We look at several areas of human bondage to drive home the impact God’s people have had across the globe from the heights of Nepal to Kokomo to Thailand to Haiti. In America, human bondage is most prevalent in the human trafficking in the sex industry. Closer to home we’ll look at the Lydia House in Orlando, the nations fourth worst city for human trafficking; and a halfway house in Bucks country PA, and others.

In Haiti, Restavek is a form of modern-day child slavery in which over 300,000 boys and girls (1 in 15) are in bondage as domestic slaves without pay, love, or the benefit of schooling.  These children are handed over by their families either as a form of debt absolution or from an inability to provide for them.  Organizations such as Restavek Freedom (https://restavekfreedom.org/) are working this atrocity.
