FREEDOM
FREEDOM

Freedom is about reaching and loving women, children, and men who are involved in or at-risk of being sexually exploited/trafficked in the Richmond Metro Area. We believe that transformation, healing, and freedom can happen within the context of relationship – a relationship with Christ and others who want the best for them.
Freedom consists of the following training and outreach opportunities:
-
Freedom Training – Virtual Training to offer education, awareness, and orientation for any of our Freedom outreaches.
-
Princess Night – There are sections/streets of our city that demonstrate high levels of sexual exploitation/trafficking. For those people we encounter, we offer compassionate care through gifts (meal & self-care hope bags), clothes, prayer, resource navigation, advocacy, and friendship.
-
Outreach Hub – Using safe and specialized technology, we call women, children, and men that have online ads in the commercial sex industry. This is a partnership with Rescue America, in which they offer a 24/7 hotline number for those wanting to exit the life.
-
Beloved Night – We offer love, encouragement, prayer, and friendship to those working in area strip clubs.
