About
Our vision is a commitment to find, rescue, rehabilitate, and restore the victims of human trafficking. We are committed to walk step by step with these victims, restoring their identity, mind, body, and soul. Mission Proverbs 24:11 Rescue Ministry Human trafficking is modern era slavery - It has been perpetrated mainly for the purposes of sexual slavery or forced labor; other purposes include extraction of organs or tissues. It is the second largest, the fastest growing, and the most profitable criminal enterprise in the world. In 2009, a University of Pennsylvania study estimated nearly 300,000 youth in the United States were at risk of being sexually exploited for commercial uses- most of them runaways or thrown-aways. There are girls as young as 5 and 6 years old in the U.S. that are forced to do sexual acts for economic gain by their pimp. Around the world, 1.2 million children are being trafficked every year; this is in addition to the millions already held captive by trafficking. Every 2 minutes a child is being prepared for sexual exploitation. The average age of a trafficked victim is 12-14 years old. Approximately 30 million children have lost their childhood through sexual exploitation over the past 30 years. Once a child is sold into sexual slavery, their average lifespan is just 2-4 years. These children are threatened, beaten, raped, drugged, and sold. In the United States, there is a severe lack of protective shelter for victims of Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking. It is truly a hopeless situation with seemingly no escape. Our vision is a commitment to find, rescue, rehabilitate, and restore the victims of human trafficking. A vision to create a safe house and a safe environment that will offer a place of shelter and refuge. We are committed to walk step by step with these victims, restoring their identity, mind, body, and soul. A "safe house" means much more than safety. These young girls and women also need access to specialized counseling to help them overcome the terrible trauma of slavery. Their other needs include medical care, skill training for jobs, education, language assistance, immigration paperwork, child care, and transportation. These, along with other services, are needed in order to get them back on their feet. Existing shelters, such as domestic violence shelters and homeless shelters are often ill-equipped to handle the specific needs of these women. “Rescue those who are being taken away to death; hold back those who are stumbling to the slaughter.” Proverbs 24:11 Company Overview Psalm 9:9-14 God's a safe-house for the battered, a sanctuary during bad times. The moment you arrive, you relax; you're never sorry you knocked. Sing your songs to Zion-dwelling God, tell his stories to everyone you meet: How he tracks down killers yet keeps his eye on us, registers every whimper and moan. Be kind to me, God; I've been kicked around long enough. Once you've pulled me back from the gates of death, I'll write the book on Hallelujahs; on the corner of Main and First I'll hold a street meeting; I'll be the song leader; we'll fill the air with salvation songs.
