Pastor Al Schaap of Gateway Community Church in Merced and Jennifer Tripp of Yosemite Church in Merced talked in length about the rescue of people caught in sex trafficking and its growing here in the valley, state, nation and world. Also discussed was the need for building and staffing safe houses in major U.S. cities and around the world. Bringing this issue into sharper focus is a planned event January 26th in Merced to allow residents the opportunity to become more aware of this growing illegal trade and the action they can take to bring it to an end.
