New EFC Resource on Human Trafficking
The EFC's Centre for Faith and Public Life has just released a three minute video clip to inform and alert congregations and youth groups to the issue of human trafficking around the world.  Over 600 women and children are trafficked into Canada each year for sexual exploitation; 1500-2200 people are trafficked from Canada to the USA annually making Canada a source, transit and destination country for human trafficking.  Feel free to use the clip in your church or ministry gatherings.
