with guest Brian McConaghy of Ratanak International.
Each year in Cambodia, thousands of young people are human trafficked and exploited—forced into the sex trade, sold to be basically slaves, and worse. Is it possible to stop this, to ultimately break this cycle of abuse? And let’s consider each survivor’s dignity; when someone has been treated without it for so long, living in such trauma, are they still ’to die for’ in the eyes of God?
Brian McConaghy, Founding Director of Ratanak International, joins us to pull open the difficult topic of human trafficking. Ratanak International, named after a baby girl who needlessly died in Cambodia, is dedicated to bringing hope to a society that would have saved this girl. While the story of human trafficking may begin dark, it can end with hope as survivors are continuously recovered and treated with the dignity and radical love that God sees for us all.
