Kevin O’Fallon, Colorado Ambassador of Hope
Child trafficking remains one of the darkest injustices facing our world today. I began my journey in this battle in late 2024 when my wife and I took an intense 6-day course with ARC, Association for the Recovery of Children followed by Shared Hope International’s Ambassador of Hope training. My heart is heavy with the knowledge of such evil and the unimaginable suffering endured by children caught in trafficking. I cannot imagine anything darker than this horrific injustice on the innocent happening. It truly is pure evil. My prayer is that God would reveal His will for me, guide my steps, and equip me to make a real difference while I am in this world. Now that I have become equipped with the knowledge, I ask that He guides me to how I can make a difference in this battle. Organizations like Shared Hope International work tirelessly to combat this evil and bring hope, healing, and justice to those affected. In this pivotal battle, the role of men as protectors, advocates, and leaders are crucial. These words seek to inspire, encourage, and mobilize men to step up courageously and compassionately in the fight against child trafficking.
A Prayer of Commitment and Courage
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, grieved by the reality of child trafficking in our communities and across the world. Lord, I ask for Your guidance in this journey. The evil in this world can feel overwhelming, but I trust that You are greater. Equip us, Lord, to battle this injustice. Give us eyes to see, voices to speak, and hands willing to act. May we rise-up as protectors of the vulnerable, defenders of the oppressed, and ambassadors of Your justice.
As we engage in this battle, we remember Your word. These verses remind us that our struggle is both spiritual and practical, and that we are called to overcome evil with good.
Romans 12:21 & Ephesians 6:12-13:
We pray for wisdom, discernment, and courage for men called to leadership in their homes, churches, workplaces, and communities. Empower them to educate themselves and others about the realities of trafficking. Guide them in supporting organizations like Shared Hope International through volunteering, advocacy, and financial partnership. Let their influence be a catalyst for change, inspiring other men to join the battle, challenge harmful attitudes, and create cultures of respect and safety for children.
Lord, we intercede for every child trapped in the web of trafficking. Surround them with Your protection and comfort. Lead men to be instruments of Your rescue and restoration, helping survivors reclaim hope, dignity, and freedom. Grant healing to wounded hearts and renew their faith in humanity through the compassion of men who serve with integrity and love.
May these words inspire and mobilize men everywhere to take a stand and help bring hope and freedom to children in need.
