Beauty from Ashes [] Mission: Our mission is to prevent, rescue, and restore victims of commercialized sexual exploitation and sex trafficking.

Objectives: Our goal is to reach and rescue them, teach and demonstrate to them how to embrace the destiny that God has planned for them and then train and send them back out as harvesters to proclaim the Good News and help other in their transition.

We meet and assist with practical needs, by providing them and their families with support, life skill development, assistance with education, job placement, relocation, short term and/or residential housing, as well as Christian discipleship and addiction rehabilitation. We assist them in the transition out of and/or away from this lifestyle by providing sound biblical guidance and direction for situations brought about by their choices such as substance abuse, pregnancy, occultism, prostitution, abortion, etc. We help them to deal constructively with the consequences their and/or other’s decisions to be involved or associated with this industry and/or lifestyle have produced. Teaching them responsibility, character development and how to daily maintain a victorious and abundant life through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is our objective.
