Did You Know?
Slave trade makes more than thirty two billion dollars a year. That’s more than Wal-Mart, Coke, and McDonald's combined. A side of Costa Rica that you will not see in your local travel agents’ offices:
Costa Rica is a source, transit, and destination country for women and children trafficked for the purpose of commercial sexual exploitation. (Source: US Embassy – Costa Rica)
On the Tier 2 Watch List for its failure to provide evidence of increasing efforts to combat sex slavery.
 And...
"The Protection Project" identified Costa Rica as becoming "a rival to Thailand and the Philippines as one of the world’s leading destinations for sex tourism."
"The Tico Times" reported that an estimated 15 to 25% of all visitors to Costa Rica have all or part of their vacation and travel plans within the sex trade or gambling that is available here.

However, this problem is not limited to 3rd world countries....it's also happening in the USA and Canada....here is a video that will give you a glimpse of this reality. PLEASE PRAY. We must not be slack ...God has given us the ability and tools to fight against the enemies schemes. Do not give up.


Calling all of those who have been set free from the things that once held you in bondage, calling all those who once walked in darkness but now live in the light. Brothers and sisters ....we must hit our knees. Fasting, prayer, daily repentance....Merciful Father, please instil within us urgent hearts. Help us to be active and not dormant....awaken my (our) heart(s), help us to be productive in the Kingdom and fight. No more games. Life is short...and in the end what will we have to show...only the things of Christ will last. All else fades.

2 Peter 3:9-18
The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. 
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night. In which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up. Therefore since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for the new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation- as also our brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures. You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

So what is God calling you to? Ask. He will answer you. What is your role?

We're in this together.
