About this episode

Mike Smith discusses his work as a surgeon and missionary in dangerous areas affected by sex trafficking and child exploitation.

Mike Smith works in the kind of place where it's dangerous to do what he does - so much so that we can't share his real name or location. Sadly, there are lots of places that fit this description: cities and countries where children are exploited, and where people from all over the world come to participate in horrific acts of abuse. Mike Smith uses his knowledge and skill as a surgeon to get into places where he can help. Along the way, he's had to learn what it means to care for the whole person in these delicate situations. In this episode, Mike sits down with Dan to discuss what he does and why the glory of God motivates him more than anything else. Contact Mike: helpthegirlsasia@gmail.com
