Exodus Cry - The Prayer Movement to End Slavery

Teaching by Benji Nolot. Audio CD Set (2 discs)

Over 400 years ago the transatlantic slave trade emerged as Africans were forcibly taken from their land and exported all over the world for the purpose of force labor. It is hard to imagine anything as brutal as what occurred during that time. Entire nations and economies were built on the backs of slaves. What is shocking however is that in our modern-day civilized society, slavery has once again emerged with a brutality that rivals anything in history. In fact, the scope and gravity of this issue is utterly staggering. Conservative estimates project that there are 27-30 million slaves on the earth right now. One of the most appalling aspects of today's slavery is the fact that 70-80% are sex slaves. We are seeing entire economies fueled by the sexual exploitation of women and children. One author called this the human rights issue of the 21st century. We can no longer continue to talk about slavery as a relic of the past; it is time for us to recognize that slavery is a major battlefront facing our generation.
