    How God Met Me in My Deepest Pain: A Trafficking Survivor's Mission of Hope and Healing with Jennisue Jesson

    In this episode, we interview Jennisue Jessen, founder and CEO of Compass 31, an international counter-trafficking organization that has impacted over 240,000 individuals across 43 countries in its 14-year history. Jennisue was commercially sexually exploited from age 4 until 17, when God provided for her rescue and escape the day after a failed suicide attempt. Beyond her impressive organizational achievements and her time on the Presidential Advisory Council on Human Trafficking, Jennisue carries a testimony that speaks to the deepest places of human pain and the incredible power of divine redemption. Her work at Compass 31 is inspired by Jesus, who continues to set captives free, and it is His love that drives her fight for justice.
