Our Mission is to eradicate human trafficking through educational and preventative programming by amplifying survivor voices so that they may find their worth, purpose, and identity in Christ through care and community. We also work to restore survivors by creating safe spaces centered around their needs and goals.
Our vision is to see a world opposed to human trafficking and a community committed to speaking up against injustice and restoring the lives of survivors. As a result, we will see:
1. We will see an increase in awareness about human trafficking within our community through the real- life testimonies of survivors.
2. We will see survivors being freed from their trauma and empowered to share their stories their way.
3. We see a community that provides hope and opportunity as a result of the survivor testimonies being shared.
4. Survivors will begin reclaiming their lives and taking charge of their own journeys, resulting in a powerful transformation.
Our Values
We are a faith based organization and we believe all survivors deserve the opportunity at a life full of worth, purpose, choice, and freedom.
Prayer is our first weapon and we utilize biblical guidance as we walk alongside survivors.
We believe in respecting all survivors regardless of where they are in their journey to freedom. We believe they have the right to choice. We come alongside to guide and support them to make informed, safe , and healthy decisions.
We inspire change by amplifying survivor voices, supporting survivors with their education goals, advocating and building life-long relationships with community stakeholders, and influencing first responders to support our mission.
We are committed to keeping the privacy and confidentially for every survivor we serve. Underage survivor identities, real name, identifying details will not be revealed. We understand that it is the survivors right to decide if, and when they are ready to tell their story.
We will always tell a true narrative of commercial sexual exploitation and trafficking. We will ensure that our community will not consume sensationalized stories, but instead receive facts and real survivor stories to amplify the voices of survivors.
We focus on the survivor as an individual, and will not sacrifice survivor care or education to boost numbers.
We believe that freedom is found in community, and we will partner with trusted service providers and agencies to develop a continuum of care for survivors.
