068 : The Fight Against Human Trafficking w/ Britney Higgs
In this episode, Kait and Maddie have a conversation with Founder, and CEO of HER Campaign, Britney Higgs. Britney shares her story of how the Lord grabbed hold of her heart and began to unfold His plan for her life in ways she could have never imagined. Britney walks us through how she was exposed to human trafficking in Iraq and how her heart was broken for the cause coming back to the US. Alongside her husband, Sammy, she established HER Campaign in 2016 to provide aftercare programs and support for survivors in their journey from recovery to economic independence. Her story is one of bold faith and obedience, and her prayer is that you walk away from this conversation with a new, deeper understanding that human trafficking is happening all around us, and it is the churches job to be the hands and feet of Jesus to survivors.
