You're listening to the Allender Center podcast with Dr. Dan Allender.

This week, Dan continues a four-part conversation with Lauren Bethel of the International Christian Alliance on Prostitution.

Lauren shares how the fight against sex trafficking has grown

exponentially in recent years, and she and Dan talk about what it means to step into your true

calling in a way that shapes the rest of your life.

If you're sacrificing yourself for this, can we find some other way for you to support your family

and there were no Christian organizations at that time that we're doing outreach this was

1986 so that's 30 years more than 30 years ago there were none and so I was I was I

didn't know what to do about eight months after I had been there, I prayed a

very, very angry prayer to God. I said, God, I am miserable in this place. I really hate this place.

I hate that, I don't even want to go down to that teach at that school. And just know God for the

next three years, I am tenacious and I will fulfill my

commitment to teach at that stupid boarding school. But know that I am, I'm going to be

miserable. Okay, just know that. And in three years, you better have something better for me, and it had better have

to do with doing something to help the women.

I don't know what to do.

I have know, how many of you felt that before?

I don't know what to do.

I don't know what to do.

But you know, you can figure it out.

So you have three years, okay?

Well, I didn't have to wait three years.
