A program pertaining to Human Trafficking will be held this Sunday (June 3rd), in Villisca. The Southwest District United Methodist Women and Villisca UM Church are hosting the program, which runs from 2:30-to 4:30-p.m. Sunday, at the Villisca United Methodist Church.

Paul Yates, executive director, and Megan Johnson, street outreach director, of “I’ve Got a Name,” in Lincoln, Neb., will share their knowledge of sex trafficking and how we can recognize it and help. Their program will help attendees:

·      Find out what sex trafficking is, how it begins and where it may exist.

·      Understand that sex trafficking exists in our communities throughout Iowa and Nebraska.

·      Discover how they can make a difference in the lives of those who are vulnerable to or who suffer through sex slavery.

“I’ve Got a Name” stands against sex trafficking through generating awareness, advocating, and financial support of those who fight injustice within our communities. I’ve Got a Name uses a faith-based approach to empower those who rescue, restore, and protect those who cannot protect themselves.

The program is open to the public and free of charge. All are welcome to attend and learn more about this growing problem across the country.
