Which Book of Mormon Scripture Saved Tim Ballard from Being Killed by Human Traffickers?
“They were surrounded, their captors assuring them they were about to be killed. And in an area that was ruled by such men—where the traffickers were armed and Tim Ballard and the men of Operation Underground Railroad were not—what could stop them from following through with their threats?
“They told us, you’re up. You are going to die. And there was nothing we could do. . . . It was us with nothing and them with 400 weapons pointing at us,” Ballard says.
Ballard and his team had infiltrated the trafficking area by posing as doctors, and after treating the trafficking victims, “They decided: Why not just kill them and take their cars and take their money and take everything they have?” Ballard says. “Because there is no repercussion for us and there is no legal system that could hurt us.”
The traffickers even coerced the men, women, and children who Ballard’s team had just treated to turn against the anti-trafficking team.
After sending some of his men to try to calm the crowd to no avail, Ballard did something which, in his words, was not “tactically sound.”
Knowing he and his team needed a miracle, Ballard went to the one source that contained the kind of power he and his team were so desperately in need of. He entered one of the team’s vehicles and pulled out his Book of Mormon.
“And I just held it, and I thought of every miracle story of the Book of Mormon,” Ballard says, “of every angel story, because that’s what we needed; we needed an angel.”
His faith gave him hope that they were going to be okay, despite the seemingly insurmountable circumstances.
“I’ve been given assurances of the Lord that this work will go on,” Ballard says. “It wasn’t going to end right now. I had received those assurances—and so I could put my faith in those assurances.” Source
Here is the scripture that inspired Tim and gave him the courage and faith to overcome.
“Yea, and it came to pass that the Lord our God did visit us with assurances that he would deliver us; yea, insomuch that he did speak peace to our souls, and did grant unto us great faith, and did cause us that we should hope for our in him. And we did take courage with our small force which we had received, and were fixed with a determination to conquer our enemies, and to our lands, and our possessions, and our wives, and our children, and the cause of our .” Alma 58:11-12

Tim Ballard: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know
Video Resurfaces of Tim Ballard Meeting Up With President Trump At White House to Discuss Child Trafficking At Southern Border
Tim Ballard, the founder of the anti-sex trafficking non-profit Operation Underground Railroad, meeting up with President Trump has gone viral in recent days.
The video from 2019 has resurfaced just days after Sound of Freedom hit number one in the box office.
Sound of Freedom is based on the true story on how former DHS special agent Tim Ballard left his job in order to rescue children from being sex-trafficked around the world.
In the new resurfaced video of Ballard meeting up with Trump, Ballard discusses how children are being trafficked along the Southern Border.
Ballard told Trump “They brought this little girl through a part of the Southern Border where there was no wall. Easily got her to New York City and this is hard to hear but this is the truth.”
Ballard continued “This little girl was raped for money everyday 30 to 40 times a day.”
While many people in D.C. have dismissed Ballard and his effort to put an end to child trafficking, Trump listened intently to what the O.U.R. founder had to share.
A little unknown fact is that Trump even appointed Ballard in 2019 to the White House Public-Private Partnership Advisory Council to End Human Trafficking.
Before his meeting with Trump, Ballard also met with Ivanka Trump and a group of Senators in 2017 to promote legislation which aimed to prevent human trafficking.
