The Least of These

Missions: Restoring Child-Victims of Human Sex Trafficking in Cambodia

The Least of These was Independently published by Thomas Luke on Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) on November 5, 2020. According to my research, The Least of These is the only academic book written from a biblical perspective on how to restore child victims of human sex trafficking in Cambodia. The Least of These has city, county, state, national and international applications in addition to Cambodia.

The Orphans of Siem Reap, Cambodia, made a lasting impression upon me when I met them during my visit to Angkor Wat, Cambodian in 2003. I have not discovered anything more disturbing than knowing about Khmer mothers who sell their little girls’ virginity to Western pedophiles. These little girls, some as young as 5 years of age, are being infected with HIV by depraved evil men for their own sexual gratification. Often, this results in the murder of these young girls after the HIV infection turns into full-blown AIDS. Because of the poverty in Cambodia, these girls cannot afford the appropriate medical treatment once they have contracted AIDS; nor can they afford the opiate pain medication necessary to dull their pain as they die a slow and agonizing death. I wrote a capstone research paper for a Master of Arts in Theological Studies – Trinity Evangelical Divinity School – Class of 2020. From a biblical perspective, I researched how to restore these traumatized child victims once they have been rescued from pedophile-brothels in Cambodia. After graduation, I turned my capstone research into a book called, ‘The Least of These.’

Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.
Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
–Psalm 82:3-4, NIV
