300,000

This Sunday millions will gather to cheer on one of two teams, the Seattle Seahawks or the Denver Broncos.  Millions will snack on chips, salsa, dips, pizza and beer.  Millions will stay glued to their TV to watch the infamous Superbowl commercials.  Millions will enjoy the company of their friends during this annual tradition.

But something bigger will be happening during the game.  Something horrible.  Disturbing. Perverted.  Something straight from the devil.

Superbowl Sunday, while full of fun, cheers, and team pride, has also become a day where the most underage children are being sold into sex trafficking within the US.

While statistics may vary, this documentary states 300,000 girls and boys are sold into sex trafficking each year, in the US alone.  The average age girl is 12-14 and average boy is 9-11 years old.  And another heartbreaking statistic, 25% of these children are sold into sex trafficking by a family member or guardian.

While this documentary is very difficult to watch, it opened my eyes to this issue that I had assumed was happening primarily in 3rd world countries.  I had no idea it was so prevalent right here under our noses, "in our own backyards."

It will break your heart to watch this video however, the end of it is just.... phew... let's just say the woman is saying what she's saying and feeling the way she's feeling because of the overwhelming love of Jesus Christ.

I think it's perfectly fine to watch, cheer on and enjoy the Superbowl.  Heck... we are hosting a party for it!  But what we must remember is that Satan is at work.  He is constantly working to tear this world apart, twist the truth, blind people from reality, and consume as many people as he can with perverted sins such as indulging in child prostitution.  He will use anything, even a football game, to distract us from the truth of the underground sin of sex trafficking.

All I'm asking is that you please watch this video so you can be aware of what will take place this weekend due to the massive influx of people that will infiltrate New York in addition to what is already happening every day of the year.

May your hearts be stirred.  May your hearts be broken.  May you spread the word to raise awareness so we can pray for these children to be saved and for those involved in this sick industry, to fall on their knees before God and seek forgiveness.
