A mix of hurt, anger, and sickness

Earlier this week I was reading a friends blog, he lives in China and has a two-part job. He teaches English as a second language and travels all over Asia filming video for a company. It is a tough job but someone has to do it.
This friend, Biscuet, yes that is his name and no I am not just hungry, as I write this is in Changmai Thailand on vacation. He wrote on his blog about something that made him "want to vomit". In his own words, "As i walked through the market tonight i saw several older white men hand-in-hand or arm-in-arm with little Thai girls. And by little, i mean young… very young."
These young girls are not their relatives. They are children who are being forced daily into child sex slavery. These young girls are being violated by disgusting and perverted men.
As I read, my heart began to hurt and I felt a mixture of sadness, anger, and sickness. I wanted so badly to rescue these girls form this situation... to show them that they are worthy of love, True Love.
I am deeply moved by the injustice going on in this part of the world... and desperately want to know how I can help. I wish I could say as Biscuet did, that I will pray for the men... but I am not there yet. I hope that one day soon I can pray for these men who desperatley need a Savior named Jesus just as I need Him.
