'We Know It's Spiritual Warfare': Former MLB Manager and Tech Exec Fight Sex Trafficking of Kids Read Transcript


- You may want to sit down for this:

Each day, 100,000 kidsare trafficked for sex

right here in the United States.

Not surprising, it's the least of these,

the nation's most vulnerable,who end up as easy prey.

- These children that are being trafficked

are modern day orphans,

and what we know, a staggering statistic,

is that 50 to 60%, maybe even more,

are coming out of foster care.

- [Jennifer] Altogether, anestimated one million people

are made slaves in the land of the free.

- Most people don't understandhow big of a problem

sex trafficking is in the United States.

- A million people in America, overall.

100,000 kids every day trafficked for sex.

Where is the outrage?

- Well, we know it's spiritual warfare.

We think the enemy's done a very good job

of keeping us blind to the issues,

and we're either, it'sso ugly and so perverse

that people don't want to hear about it,

or they turn blind eyes to it.

If you know that your children

and children in your community

are being abducted or lured and then sold,

and then raped 10-15, 20, 30 times a day,

I think you would do something about it.

- [Jennifer] Kevin Malone is a retired GM

for Major League Baseball.

Geoff Rogers is a former IBM executive.

Both are using their business know-how

to take on human trafficking in America.

They're tackling pure evil.

- If a man wants to pay to rape a child,

but he wants a certaintype of look of a child,

a 10-year old red-headedgirl with blue eyes,

then they're gonna goget that for this guy,

so we're living in avery challenging time,

and it's happening all over America.

- [Jennifer] It's draining work.

When the men started

the US Institute AgainstHuman Trafficking,

they made a prayerwarrior their first hire.

Her job: pray unceasingly,

and cover them as they tacklethe source of the problem.

- Sex trafficking is a supplyanswer to a demand problem.

- [Jennifer] To cut it off,

they've created traffic-freezones communities can implement

using tools with proven track records.

- The key to this is getting

all the different sectors of society

firing away at demand at the same time.

So, helping law enforcementto focus more on the demand;

the county government or city government

declaring itself a trafficking-free zone;

helping businesses andtechnology; using technology;

the school system; healthcare organizations;

and especially the churches.

- [Jennifer] Studies show some 70% of men

are either addicted topornography or view it regularly,

and experts believe porn

is the fueling factor for sex trafficking.

- We know the answer is Jesus Christ.

Christ is the answer for therestoration of the survivors.

Christ is also the answer forthe guys who are buying sex,

who are addicted to sex.

Christ is the answer for them,

to reach down into the heart of man,

and to cure them of that addiction.

- We need the wisdom ofGod, the guidance of God,

the protection of God,'cause we're fighting

the most evil, darkest, Satanic stronghold

on the face of the Earth.

- And, for Americans who wantto help, but don't know how?

Rogers and Malone are asking for prayers

to free children and womenfrom this powerful addiction

and evil industry that's enslaving them.
