My name is Larry MacMurdo, and I am a rescue agent with 1000men.org and Gideons-Army.

As a rescue/burn agent, I am tasked with rescuing children from the horrors of child sex trafficking. As a rescue/burn agent it is my job to go undercover into establishments suspected of selling minors for sex and begin gathering evidence and building a case. With 1000men.org we are sent all across the world into places like South and Southeast Asia, Latin America and South and East Africa to begin investigations where alleged child trafficking is occurring. With Gideons-Army, I work domestically here in the United States.

As a burn agent, my job is to make contact with the traffickers and play the part of a buyer. When a level of trust is established, the work of locating and identifying minors begins and this very crucial and dangerous part of the mission requires proficient evidence gathering while remaining undercover as a potential buyer. We will employ various methods to confirm minors' identity and continue building a relationship with the traffickers. When trust is built and intent to sell minors for sex is established, we then take all the evidence that we have gathered and begin working with Federal Law Enforcement to conduct a raid. The goal of these raids is to first and foremost rescue the children, but also to bring each trafficker to justice, ending the credibility of the establishment and arresting all who were involved.

Each child is a precious creation of God, worthy of love, worthy of honor and has a right to live a life of peace, joy and freedom. The evils these kids have to endure day and night can be stopped and it takes a community of willingness, love and grit to spear head this problem and raise our hands and say, here am I Lord send me (Isaiah 6:8)

As a rescue/ burn agent I am completely self-funded to go on these operations and deployments. I need my community's prayer and financial support to be free to say yes to the calling when the calling arises. Travel, lodging, training and equipment costs are a very large financial burden for just my wife and I to carry alone and I am so thankful that so many people are willing to come along side us and make fighting for these kids possible. It is my calling to be 100% devoted to rescuing children and the more financial power and prayer support I have the more I can be "boots on the ground" where rescues are needed.

I am a Marine Corps veteran and have endured my own hell with trauma from childhood abuse. I will never stop fighting for these kids until the Lord takes me home.

Thank you for your support and belief in the mission, I believe God honors everyone who takes a stand and fights for the oppressed.

God bless you all and thank you so much for your love for these children.

Larry
