CGI exists to empower the poor, protect the innocent and share the Gospel.
Poverty • Lack of Educational Resources • Lack of Employment Opportunities • Alcoholism • Gambling Addiction • Familial and Cultural Expectation Crisis in Cambodia
Human Trafficking in Cambodia • with lack of opportunities for income, selling a child becomes the fastest and easiest way to provide basic needs for the entire family • A virgin can be sold for the equivalent of a year’s wage-- $500 for a week of servitude • A child that has been previously sold can be re-sold for $30-$90 per night • Girls are primarily sold to local military and government officials • They can also be sold as escorts at the karaoke bar
Each person is created in God’s image: • “So God created human beings in his own image. • In the image of God he created them; • male and female he created them.” Genesis 1:27 • God has created each individual for his good works: • “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, • so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Ephesians 2:10 • Jesus was sent to live and die for everyone: • “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, • so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 As Christians, how do we respond? What does God say?
CGI exists to provide a pathway out of poverty through education, vocational training and business development. We work primarily in Cambodia and many of those we serve are victims of– or vulnerable to– human trafficking.
