Human Trafficking – Witness21

Called to Rescue and Restore the Exploited – with Debbie Hancock PART 1 Ep 53

on 2025-04-12

Summary

I wasn’t raised in a Christian home and endured painful abuse and isolation from an early age. For years I battled secret sorrows and suicidal despair until one fateful night on my screen porch I clutched my small bible and felt God’s overwhelming love. That divine moment led me to surrender my life and embark on a transformative journey that not only healed my wounds but also called me to rescue exploited women. Through trials including betrayal, a painful marriage breakdown, and the challenges of single motherhood, I discovered that Jesus alone redeems and restores. Today, as the founder of Compassion To Act in Charlotte, I pour my heart into ministering to those trapped in modern-day slavery and exploitation, sharing my story so others may know that God’s grace makes restoration possible.

Summary

In this harrowing testimony, Lisa Diaz recounts being trapped in a 37-year cycle of abuse. Born and raised in Santa Rosa, California, she suffered sexual abuse from a very young age—from her caregiver’s partner to later abuse by her stepfather—and was further exploited through trafficking and forced prostitution. Over the years, she endured domestic violence, drug addiction, and a profound loss of self-worth that led to incarceration and deep-seated trauma. With immense courage and by seeking help, she broke free from this cycle. Today, Lisa has transformed her life; she co-founded Redemption House of the Bay Area and now works as a lead human trafficking caseworker, using her experience to educate others about the red flags of trafficking and abuse.

Summary

I’m Elizabeth Kos, a survivor of human trafficking. I share my journey—from a childhood filled with abuse and neglect, through devastating experiences of being trafficked and exploited on the streets, to a miraculous turnaround when God intervened in my darkest moments. I experienced severe trauma, addiction, and legal struggles. When I hit rock bottom, I cried out in desperation and experienced God’s presence. Through incarceration, recovery, and the support of God and community, I began to heal and rebuild my life. Today, I work as a social worker, I’m pursuing higher education in Christian leadership, and I co-founded Redemption House of the Bay Area to help other survivors break free and find hope. My testimony is a call for survivors to speak their truth and for the community to stand united against modern-day slavery.

Summary

Casandra is a survivor of the Canadian sex industry. Her faith in God helped give her a hope and a future from it. She tried seeking God three times in her life. She opened the bible up to the book of Ecclesiastes about how life is meaningless. She felt put off – life was depressing for her, and the scripture she read was not what she wanted to hear. Her life became more troubling, it was confusing for her. Years after when she was involved with sex trafficking, she had been taken in by a Christian family. Casandra watched their lives of how they were changed in front of her, they were being transformed. She went back to her ways and then after genuinely seeking the Lord, she left the trafficker and her friend took her in again. She was finally able to leave her trafficker. It was an emotional experience for her. She cried for days as felt she had no hope or future. After reading more scriptures, Casandra asked God to come in her life. She had an immediate gift of peace. Since then, she never felt overwhelmed by fear and anxiety. Casandra went from little education to becoming the Executive Director of operating a charity to changing laws called BridgeNorth. The goal of BridgeNorth is to end sexual exploitation in Canada and help victims. http://bridgenorth.org Or call 1-833-900-1010

Summary

I share my heart-wrenching journey of being controlled, threatened, and trafficked as a sex worker over 12 long years. I was forced into darkness by pimps who held guns to my head and used my own family against me. Despite the constant fear and entrapment, I longed for a normal life—a life filled with love, hope, and freedom. One fateful gas station stop, witnessed by a caring advocate, sparked a turning point. I cried out to God in desperation and He delivered me through an FBI sting and His divine intervention. Over the next two years, I got clean from drugs, gave my life to Jesus, and now lead worship in a local church. My testimony is a living reminder that God can break every chain and give new life.

Summary

My name is Leslie, and my journey has been one of pain, redemption, and purpose. Abused as a child and kidnapped into sex trafficking at 15, I endured years of unimaginable suffering. To cope with the trauma, I turned to crack cocaine, but the pain only grew stronger. On July 4, 2000, in the midst of a suicide attempt, I felt God’s presence like never before—a hug that healed my brokenness. I entered detox, found faith in Jesus, and discovered forgiveness and purpose. Today, I lead Sacred Beginnings, helping other women escape exploitation. Through Christ, I’ve been transformed into a warrior, knowing who I am in Him. I am free.
