Our Strategy

We are a small group of believers with a large community and support network! Our dream is to share the love of Christ with the survivors of sex trafficking; but we are not going to stop there… We will find a way to also share the love of Christ with the traffickers and customers, the true leapers of today. We do not know exactly how we are going to do all of this (we are currently in trial and error mode) but we are going to do it with and for Jesus.

For safety purposes, it is hard for me to tell you what we ARE doing, but for now, I can tell you what we are NOT doing: we are not going in undercover and we are not breaking into brothels to rescue girls; but we are not afraid to risk our lives to do God’s work; and we are not going to ignore God’s voice as we follow Him to bring justice and grace to all of His children.

We are partnering with law enforcement, social services, church communities, volunteers, and non-profit secular organizations to battle this issue from all sides and provide a holistic approach. Most importantly we are developing a community center within our apartment complex, which currently ministers to the urban poor and refugee families. We will offer ESL, life skills and computer classes, etc. But most importantly, we are offering friendship, family and a true community of God’s LOVE and GRACE. The goal is to offer a safe and healthy community to eventually minister to human trafficking SURVIVORS.
*There are services for human trafficking survivors that need immediate housing but they will eventually be back out on their own and we do not want these girls thrown out to be trafficked again.
