In this eye-opening podcast episode, host Hannah Munn speaks with President and CEO of Compassion First, Mike Mercer, and the founder and CEO of Love Justice, John Molineux to unpack the only known strategy that’s measurably intercepting human trafficking before it happens. Rooted in real-time data, frontline intervention, and a bold redefinition of impact, this conversation explores what it means to prioritize prevention—not just awareness or rescue. With insights from global transit hubs, strategic casework, and years of justice work, this episode offers a practical, hope-filled roadmap for fighting trafficking at its source.
Prior to working for Compassion First, Mike was the co-founder of Foursquare Disaster Relief (FDR) and served in various pastoral roles in Beaverton, Oregon. He remains an advisor to FDR International and an ordained minister in the Foursquare Church. He lives in Portland, Oregon, with his wife, Kymra, their three children, an Australian Labradoodle, and a Blue Nose Pitbull. He loves golf and martial arts and is good at neither.
