125. The Mission of the Exodus Road: Strategically Fighting Human Trafficking - Laura Parker

Meet Laura. She's a mom of three who - alongside her husband - found herself launching a global nonprofit working to eradicate human trafficking because she simply couldn't look away. She and her husband began the organization while he was doing undercover work with SE Asian police. Now their nonprofit, Exodus Road, is on a mission to find and free them. Her story is shocking. Heartbreaking. Hopeful. Inspiring. And it's looking for a compassionate army to give it some serious wings. You game?
