Hour 1: News commentary with guest host Eden Gordon Hill

Hour 2 Guests:

1st half: Işık Abla joins to discuss her new Feature in The Washington Times’ Higher Ground

“Human trafficking is a grave injustice that violates the dignity and freedom of countless individuals worldwide. “

Article: We were praying to recover an abducted girl when we received the miracle news

Isik Abla’s latest news article features include The Washington Times Opinion, The Washington Times’ Higher Ground; The Hope Report, Fox News, Stacy Washington NOW, America’s Hope with Kelly Wright, and Truth and Liberty Coalition with Alex McFarland, speaking about growing up in a tumultuous country and a Muslim home; she experienced many verbal and physical abuses. In 1996, she fled to America to escape violence.

Işık Abla Ministries (IAM) is a global beacon of hope and empowerment led by visionary founder President and CEO Işık Abla, who was featured in The Washington Times’ Higher Ground. “As our nation faces a critical hour with the escalating border crisis, the vulnerabilities of children entering this country are more glaring than ever, especially concerning human trafficking. The recent surge in these horrifying cases demands our immediate attention and action.

Some time ago, we were praying for an abducted little girl. She was snatched from her parent’s house in a split second. It was unreal to her mother, who kept rewinding the dark hour when she couldn’t find her baby girl, who had been playing in front of the house with her friends. It was every parent’s nightmare.

It is very hard to even write this article. I am choking on tears while writing. The knot in my throat and the heaviness in my chest make it hard to breathe. I am reliving my own molestation trauma and all the abuse and rape I went through. Knowing what they go through is a thousand times worse than my trauma. Yes, it is more than disturbing. It is heart-wrenching as a mother of a girl myself. But someone needs to read this. Someone needs to reach out and help. This evil needs to stop. And we cannot do this by ourselves. We need teams. We need support. We need passionate and compassionate people. We need God’s army.

Human trafficking is a grave injustice that violates the dignity and freedom of countless individuals worldwide. The Bible clearly condemns such exploitation and calls for justice and liberation.

Christians are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus in the fight against human trafficking. Organizations like ours, founded by Christian leaders, work tirelessly to support those who rescue victims, bring traffickers to justice, and restore survivors.”
