\"\"<\/a>Corrupt government officials in Haiti involved in Human Trafficking<\/a> at Son of God orphanage outside Port-au-Prince.<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

The time has come to share the results of a 15-month investigation into suspected human trafficking<\/a> at the Son of God orphanage in Haiti. \u00a0I need your help to spread this news to the CNN Freedom Project <\/a>by signing our Change.org petition<\/a> today.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

SIGN THE PETITION NOW<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

We are petitioning CNN <\/a>to bring their international media voice and passion for ending slavery into the Son of God Orphanage. Please urge CNN <\/a>to expose the corruption within the Haitian government, and allow international organizations to secure the children from the child traffickers<\/a> who are now controlling the orphanage.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The evidence in hand shows:<\/p>\n

> Children have been and are currently being trafficked from the Son of God Orphanage. The evidence on human trafficking leads back to the Son of God orphanage. The orphanage director was imprisoned in July as part of a police-led operation that resulted in his conviction of trafficking a child.<\/p>\n

> Haitian investigators have told our team the evidence suggests organ harvesting and trafficking as well.<\/p>\n

> Numerous photos show extreme physical abuse and neglect. U.S. and Haitian doctors have documented cases of severe abuse and neglect including burns and broken bones.<\/p>\n

SIGN THE PETITION NOW<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

> As recently as October 10, American volunteers took children with late-stage starvation out of the orphanage and to local doctors. Without this intervention, the doctors confirmed the children could have died of starvation.<\/p>\n

> After boldly bringing these facts to the attention of government officials, American citizens received death threats from those associated with the current orphanage leadership–documented by the Haitian police.<\/p>\n

This orphanage must be shut down. Other orphanages are ready and willing to take these children. Please urge CNN <\/a>to cover this story and work to close this orphanage and re-locate the children immediately.<\/p>\n

SIGN THE PETITION NOW<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

This trafficking is REAL, it is documented, and it must be stopped now. In ADDITION to signing the petition, please:<\/p>\n

Tweet <\/a>this right now, using hashtags #cnnfreedom, #endslavery, and #not_for_sale<\/p>\n

Post to Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n

Call your elected officials<\/a><\/strong> and forward them this article. We can provide the file of evidence DIRECTLY to their office for further investigation.<\/p>\n

Re-post on your blogs<\/p>\n

We need coordinated, concerted pressure. We believe the best chance these children have is through a focused effort to bring international media and political attention to their abuse, and neglect.\u00a0Children in Haiti at this orphanage are being trafficked<\/a>. They are being abused, burned, and starved. We have other orphanages ready to take these children, but need to bring MORE focused attention to this matter so that official action will be taken now.\u00a0Take time to stop this. Sign the petition, and get everyone you know to do the same.\u00a0Thank you!<\/p>\n

A tireless advocate for fatherless children, Davis has spent most of his adult life calling U.S. believers to become the hands and feet of Jesus Christ to the 143 million orphans living around the world. Through those connections, thousands of orphans now have the bright and hopeful future--one that is filled with opportunities and the love of the one true Father. Davis speaks hundreds of times each year at churches and conferences, mobilizing the church to action on behalf of the poor. He is the author of four books. His most recent novel, SCARED is a fictionalized account of his first-hand experiencing living and working with orphans in Swaziland, Africa. Davis' blog is the premier resource for the latest developments in Christian orphan ministry. Davis also currently teaches courses as adjunct professor at George Fox University in Newberg, OR. When not traveling the globe, Davis resides in the mountains of Colorado in the small community of Palmer Lake. He and his wife Emily have seven children, including two adopted daughters from Russia.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/author\/tdavis"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1748","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/87"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1748"}],"version-history":[{"count":25,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1748\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1763,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1748\/revisions\/1763"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1748"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1748"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/redletters\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1748"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
