Sometimes we get so bogged down in the bad news. Our motivation gets sapped and we become paralyzed, but our inaction affects the lives of enslaved people aroung the world. Although the good news is sparse, it’s there if you seek it out. So here are some positives stories I’ve seen lately. Let them invigorate and inspire you.

• Here’s the story of a rescued woman named Kunthy from IJM’s website. She was drugged, violated, and trafficked at age 14. She was rescued during an IJM raid. Here’s the best part:
  

  “In aftercare, Kunthy also discovered that she had something to offer other girls like her: Hope. After several years healing, Kunthy began to mentor other victims as they took their first steps toward a new life.”

• Here’s a bakery in Vancouver that’s fundraising for the Salvation Army’s campaign against human trafficking. Buy a “Sparkle of Hope” cupcake or a “Truth isn’t sexy” t-shirt and 100% of the money goes to the cause. What I love about this (other than the frosting) is that these bakers are taking what they already know and love and using it to help. What do you know and love? How can you use it for good?
