Welcome to Beautiful Warrior WEDNESDAY!

Diana Scimone is making history into her-story and your story and my story and, most important, their story.

Their story? A true tale with rarely a happy ending. A tale of deception and coercion and — sick sick sick — forced prostitution of children. This is NOT the movie Pretty Woman.

Far from it.

This is rape.

And beautiful warrior Diana Scimone is doing something about it. She began the 09-09-09 campaign to raise $81,000 to print and distribute illustrated books all across the world. All she asks you to do is give $9 — the cost of two Happy Meals — to her nonprofit: Born 2 Fly. And she asks you to tell nine other people about 09-09-09.

Send an email or blog it or nine of your best Facebook friends. Join the campaign here. If you want to win prizes, give your $9 on 09-09-09. Right now put the reminder in your cell or write it on a calendar. This date is exactly one week from today.  

Several years ago, while traveling in a far East country, Diana saw something that churned her stomach. She saw children IN A CAGE. Some were very, very young. . .think Kindergarten age. . .others a bit older.

I repeat: in cages in cages in cage. But why?

At the start of the “grooming” process — systematic abuse is more accurate — these caged child sex slaves learn what was expected of them and what happens if they fought back: beatings, starvation and worse. To their owners, they were money money money.

Disgusted? Me too.

A journalist and a Christian, Diana knew she was no comando chick, busting in like a Charlie’s Angel, shooting bullets, busting heads, and freeing the little ones. She had another weapon: her keyboard. She not only began writing and tweeting about child trafficking, she also worked with an illustrator to develop a book to tell parents of the tricks slave owners use to lure children and young teens from their homes and into brothels, all but guaranteeing an early death due to injury or disease. Yes, AIDS.

A common ploy is promised employment as a nanny or a secretary or a model. The parents want to give their daughters a better life, so they encourage them to go. Some moms and dads even get “thank-you” money. If only they knew.

Diana’s book lets them know and protect their children and

never ever ever live in a cage or forceably raped.

Never.

Please pray 09-09-09 into her-story and your story and their story.

“He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.” Isaiah 61:1
