Lord, today we celebrate the first
successfully prosecuted human trafficking (for
sexual exploitation) offence in Northern Ireland. We are thankful that brothers
Decebal and Spartacus Mihai have been apprehended, their work has been
stopped, and they are headed to prison as a result of trafficking women through
escort services. We pray that this successful conviction will send a clear
message to others engaged in this illicit activity in this part of the world—that
Northern Ireland does not accept nor overlook this terrible treatment of human
beings. We pray that the Mihais will repent of their crimes and be
successfully rehabilitated, that they may choose other, productive occupations when
they are eventually released from prison. We pray for all those victimized in
the Mihais’ network, that they would be able to choose freedom and find
healing. We pray particularly for the four women who cooperated with police and
clearly conveyed to the police through their interactions the gravity of their
plight. May they find all the help they need to begin new lives in healthy
environments. Again, we are thankful for this victory against human
trafficking today. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
