The Marshall County Ministerium will be sponsoring an informational program on the evils of human sex trafficking with a special focus on child trafficking. The event will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 29 at 6:30 PM at the host church, First Presbyterian Britton.
The speaker for this program is Scott Stoutenburg who represents Destiny Rescue which is an international Christian -based nonprofit that was founded in 2001. Destiny Rescue is committed to rescuing kids from human trafficking and sexual exploitation and helping them stay free. Destiny Rescue also offers re-integration programs in some locations that provide survivors with unique Freedom Plans to help them pursue true destinies. Thousands have been rescued, and hundreds of trafficking or abuse perpetrators have been arrested.
Destiny rescue is actively rescuing children in nine countries presently. These countries include Cambodia, the Dominican Republic, Nepal, the Philippines, Thailand, Uganda and three other countries which are not named to protect survivors and staff in those areas. To raise awareness and funds for this important mission are presently being presented in three countries, the United States, Australia, and New Zealand.
Scott has been involved with this ministry for a number of years and has been involved in several rescues of children. He currently lives in the Groton area and has spoken at numerous churches and college campuses.
After the program, a time of refreshments and fellowship will be provided. Scott will also stay around afterwards to answer any questions you might have. Area pastors hope many will come out to hear about this great injustice that is happening in our world today.
