Page 174: Jennisue Jessen: God’s Power to Rescue and Restore Victims of Human Trafficking

Content Advisory: This episode contains elements of sexual trauma, exploitation, and suicide. Jennisue Jessen has been working in the fight against human trafficking for more than 25 years.  She has a unique perspective on both the trauma and the incredible resilience of survivors.  Jennisue was first sold into the sex trade at the age of four by her grandfather.  The abuse and exploitation lasted more than 10 years.  She believed Jesus was real and He was with her, but she struggled to understand why her abuse continued.  Today she is the founder and CEO of Compass 31, an international counter-trafficking organization that has impacted thousands of lives.  She has served on the U.S. Advisory Council on Human Trafficking and has helped shape federal counter-trafficking policies.  More than anything, she is a living example of God’s power to rescue, restore, redeem, and to use her story to help others.  Learn more about a project to buy a portable x-ray machine for Kijabe Hospital at www.FriendsOfKijabe.org
