Fighting Human Trafficking, One Rescue at a Time

Here’s a good thing you need to know: Anson Thomas has rescued over 800 women and children from human trafficking, and he’s not done yet. Once a national-level hockey goalkeeper and a customs officer in India, Anson has spent the last 30 years rescuing women and children from brothels, often putting his own safety at risk. Today, we hear his story - what drove him to take on this mission, what those rescues really involve, and how he helps survivors rebuild their lives.
