Ghana Staff Training on Child Trafficking

I just returned from Ghana where one of my jobs was to train all our staff on issues related to child trafficking. As part of the workshop, the staff compiled a list of all trafficking situations they were aware of in each of their areas. It was a challenging list, indeed. We also role-played asking questions to investigate possible cases of trafficking. Now they have all been charged with watching for and reporting all possible incidents of child trafficking. Our organization, Every Child Ministries, hopes to get more involved and to help some of these children. Please pray that the staff will remember and actively use all they have learned.

Preparing for Staff Training on Trafficking, Slavery

As my trip to Uganda nears (only 3 days left), I have put the finishing touches on our first staff training on child trafficking and modern-day slavery for all staff & missionaries of Every Child Minstries in Uganda. In two days I'm going to try to give our team a synopsis of what I've learned and experienced on the topic. Most important, we will be discussing and planning together what ECM as an organization can contribute to the fight against slavery. I'm already aware of several situations in Uganda and neighboring countries that need consideration. Please pray with us that God will guide our thoughts and our plans.
