In this episode, Pastor Shawn and Associate Pastor Nick Quient continue their conversation with Lauran Bethell, global consultant for human trafficking for International Ministries, about faith, missions, and the fight against human trafficking. For Lauran:

Her main goal is to encourage new grassroots projects  addressing the exploitation and abuse of women and children, many of  whom are victims of trafficking. Based in the Netherlands, she travels  extensively throughout Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas to teach,  train and consult. In 2004, Lauran directed the first International Christian Alliance on  Prostitution (ICAP) Global Conference, bringing together the leaders of  faith-based organizations from all over the world who are dedicated to  meeting victims of prostitution and human trafficking with healing in  Jesus’ name. Global and regional ICAP conferences continue to meet  regularly, offering networking for transformation and hope. Lauran serves on the Anti-Trafficking Committee of the European Baptist  Federation and on the boards of Make Way Partners and Justice and Care.  She has collaborated with governmental agencies, non-government  organizations and a spectrum of faith-based groups. She has testified  before the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate committees as they  drafted and revised U.S. anti-trafficking legislation. In 2005, Lauran was honored with the Human Rights Award of the Baptist  World Alliance, and in 2009 she was awarded a Doctorate of Humane  Letters from Palmer Seminary for her “longstanding and focused ministry  of justice and compassion.”
