This episode is all about raising awareness for the fight against childhood sexual abuse and exploitation. iDisciple CEO David Henriksen and Mary Frances Bowley have a gripping conversation about what lead her from a career in elementary education to leading the charge for an organization dedicated to fighting sex abuse and sex trafficking.

 

Mary Frances Bowley is the Founder and Executive Director of Wellspring Living, an organization fighting childhood sexual abuse and exploitation since 2001. She is a leader in bringing the fight against child sex-trafficking to Atlanta and is a founding member of the Georgia Statewide Human Trafficking Task Force.

 

Mary Frances was appointed to the Governor’s Commission on Domestic Violence in 2010.  She was awarded the Martin Luther King Community Service Award and the AKA Humanitarian Award.  She is also the author of three books, ‘A League of Dangerous Women’, ‘The White Umbrella’, and her latest book, ‘Make It Zero’. Mary Frances resides in Peachtree City with her husband.
