Jasmine Grace came to NYC to give her testimony as a human trafficking survivor. Many suburban people think this issue is far removed from them, but Jasmine Grace was the victim of what is called a Romeo Pimp (someone who pretends to be a boyfriend but is setting her up for trafficking). There is a lot to learn from her story for people of all ages. The strength of her faith comes from the realization that God was with her in her trauma and continues to lead her in ministry to help others.
