BRINGING ATP

COUNTER-TRAFFICKING EXPERTISE TO IRAQI COMMUNITIES

During the past 10 years I’ve been with the ministry, there have been times where I’ve thought, “The ministry has never been stronger.” I find myself saying that a lot lately. I’ve never worked with people like this. I’m so humbled to be able to learn under such great leaders and warriors. I love my job and cannot believe this is what I get to do in life. That, in itself, is an end-ofyear highlight.

Another major highlight for me was our last mission to Iraq. One of our key objectives was to bring ATP’s counter-trafficking expertise to the local communities. During training sessions with several law enforcement and human rights groups, we used an exercise called Modern Day Drawbridge to challenge participants by asking them to choose which character they think is to blame in a hypothetical sex-trafficking scenario.
