Dilemma

After watching Frontline: Sex Slaves I'm left wondering what I should do.

Violence against slave traders? Probably not. I don't have authority, and that's not Christian.
Go to the victims of this, or the people of the soviet bloc, preaching God, the truth, hope?.... Whatever I can do to make opportunities for people to know Him and have their lives changed?
I can't guarantee anything, I can't conjure up God on demand. I can talk about him, I can pray that He'll make himself known to these people.

Somewhere in the film or on the website I heard that the people in Moldova are so poor, 80% are below the poverty line, living on $30-$40 a week.
And that their own view of human life is so little that they would sell themselves into prostitution for money, or to send money to their families.

That's not to belittle their poverty or desparation, but that was basically a quote.

I'm not saying God will pay their bills, but there has to be another way.

I don't even know where to go with this.

How can my life make a difference? Why am I here in America, with wealth and opportunity? If I can't save the world by force, can I help Jesus save it with peace?
