Student Leaders
“So many of those trapped in the middle of human trafficking don’t know about the incredible love, grace, and mercy God has for them. My goal is to help them understand these gifts. I want to help people escape their suffering and misery by showing them the safe haven of God’s love and compassion. I have experienced these gifts, and I want those in the clutches of human trafficking to experience them, too.”
“Ever since I became aware of human trafficking, I have learned so much that I want to share with others. I have with a few friends, but I want to tell more than just a few people. It is a serious problem in the world that needs to come to a stop. Young boys and girls are not meant to be sold and used for someone else’s benefit. They are meant for so much more, especially for God’s work. I want to help others make a difference and reach out to both those in need and those who want to help. I believe God is calling me and everyone else to help make a difference, and use our HANDS OF JUSTICE to end human trafficking. God-willing, we will make a change.”
“When I joined Hands of Justice for the filming, I honestly had hardly any knowledge about the issue, so as much I hate to admit it, I was doing it for the theatrical aspect. However, by the time the release of the film rolled around I knew it wasn’t the end of my time working in the human trafficking movement. I have felt God pressing on my heart for a while now to put my time towards something bigger than myself, so I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to serve as a Student Leader and I can’t wait to see what God continues to do through us! I just know that this is only the beginning of the incredible impact we can have and I am honored to be his hands and feet.”
“My heart has always ached when I witnessed another person being belittled, bullied, taken advantage of, or hurt in anyway. Witnessing others leave someone out intentionally makes me cringe. When I learned that those who have been mistreated in these and other ways are often the ultimate victims of the human trafficking atrocity, I was compelled to learn more about this horror, especially ways to educate, protect, and stand in the gap for God’s children who are the targets.”
“We’ve all seen the news and all the horrible things they tell us about, and we’ve all seen people complaining about it on social media, talking about doing something but never actually doing it. I’m stuck there, along with hundreds of other people. Some of us may not have many encounters with things like sex trafficking, but are restless to do something about it with a passion from God’s heart. Hearing about Hands of Justice really excited me, and I was eager for the chance to do something. I can’t thank God enough for giving me this opportunity as a student leader in a movement I know without a doubt can finally make a difference. It’s my goal, when lives are being changed because of Hands of Justice, to be able to proudly say that I was a part of it. I’m only a 17 year old girl struggling in calculus, but my God is King of this world. And He’s moving through Hands of Justice. I’m going to give all I can to accomplish that goal, and give God all the glory I possibly can.”
“I have been active in ministry since I was 15 years old. I have traveled overseas many times to work with people who live with no earthly possessions because they have been forced out of their homes, then after a few weeks return to my privileged American life. While in the states I would frequently think about and pray for those people, but I could do nothing else to help them. When I was approached about becoming a student leader with Hands of Justice, I realized that I can do more on this side of the world to help those who cannot help themselves. I don’t have to ride 13 hours on a plane to bring hope to the hopeless or comfort the hurting. I can do it right here. It has been truly incredible to watch the Hands of Justice ministry evolve into what it is today, and I am honored to be a part of this team.”
“I am a freshman in college. I’m so excited to be a part of Hands Of Justice, and to represent everything that this organization stands for. I’m so thankful for this opportunity to reach out and bring awareness to our community. I am so honored to be a student leader, and I can’t wait to see what plans God has for this ministry!”
“I am a 17 year old junior who has been blessed with the opportunity to be a student leader for the Hands of Justice. God has put this ministry on my heart for a while and I am eager to see the difference this ministry will make nationwide. The Lord has called me to use my gift for public speaking and my heart for speaking for those with no voice by standing up and being a student leader. My heart aches for the victims in human trafficking and I thank God for the opportunity to lend a helping hand. I have complete faith that God will use this team mightily for His kingdom.”
“During the past year I studied current events in depth. The topic of human trafficking continually surfaced. I knew God was calling my heart to help, but how? When I first saw the need for student leaders I scrolled past the post, assuming the time commitment would be too costly. After a brief pause God brought me back to that very post and pressed on my heart to apply. With a click of a button and God’s urging I know my journey with human trafficking has only just begun. ‘ Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed.’ (Proverbs 31:8-NLT)”
“Since I’ve been in middle school, I have constantly felt God placing human trafficking on my heart in a huge way. I have always said that I want to be a civil right’s activist in my future and help young girls and boys escape from the prison that is human trafficking. I yearn to help people be more aware of how prevalent it is and encourage them to come alongside me and help fight one of the oldest, most twisted forms of exploiting other human beings. I am beyond grateful to serve with Hands of Justice as a student leader and hope that God will use me and my fellow leaders in huge ways to make the world a better place.”
“So often we think we are unequipped or not enough to stand up and make a difference. If we continue on like that, it makes God seem small. It’s not about us, but what He can do through us. I feel honored to be in a leader position, and look forward to see how He can use me. Men need to stand up and be protectors of women and children, never harming or victimizing them. Guys of courage and Christ like values need to take this battle on. It’s an awesome feeling to be part of this purpose”
“I wanted to be a Hands of Justice student leader because God has really put it on my heart to serve others. When I was a part of this organization coming together God gave me a heart for those trapped in trafficking. I believe that is just one person is saved through our actions then God is glorified, and if more than that, then how much more the glory must be! I’m grateful for the opportunity that this provides for me to raise awareness about people in need.”
“There are those in captivity that do not know anything outside the pain of the chains. Men used like animals until they’re all used up. Women sold for their bodies only to be touched by those that seek to harm them. Children stolen of their innocence and given a burden they were never meant to bear. Many believing they are not worth anymore than what they can be used for, but they are worthy, they are valuable and they are loved. They are never so far that the hands of Jesus can’t reach them. That is why we must reject passivity and be relentless in our love. To be the hands of Jesus, to be the hands of justice.”
“I cant wait to help Hands of Justice. I want to help Hands of Justice because I hate seeing innocent people hurt. I am willing to do whatever i need to do in order to stop that. Human trafficking hurts a lot of people. I am joining Hands of Justice to help stop the pain and suffering.”
“Human Trafficking ruins lives and causes so much misery. I can’t stand it when I hear anyone in any amount of pain. I hope to help bring others hope. No one should ever have to go through what people who have been trafficked have had to experience. I pray God can use me to help alleviate the suffering of people exposed to trafficking.”
“I feel so honored to be a part of this wonderful ministry. I have recently become more interested in the hard subject of human trafficking. It breaks my heart to know that women and young children are be used as someone’s “property.” They should be treated with love and respect. They need to feel they are loved and treasured by God, as his beautiful children. My heart breaks for those who can’t stand for themselves. That’s why I am excited to have the opportunity to be a Student Leader. I believe God can use my generation to take a stand for those who can’t speak for themselves. I know this ministry will be used mightily for the Kingdom. I look forward to learning through this experience and can’t wait to see where the Lord leads me from here.”
“It’s definitely an honor to serve Jesus this way. It’s so hard to know how exactly to help, so I’m thankful for the guidance of Hands of Justice. I look forward to working with fellow followers of Christ in this organization to spread His word and love to the least of these.”
