"We want every woman to know that her worth is not determined by what a man will pay for her body, but by the fact that Jesus paid for HER with HIS body." -Jessica Doering, Founder

Our vision is to live out God’s mercy and grace with women in the sex industry through genuine friendship, unconditional love, and the powerful Word of Jesus.

We serve exploited and trafficked women in the Greater Cincinnati area.

Over the next ten years, our goal is to make the Gospel accessible to all 20,000+ potential victims of trafficking and exploitation in our area. 20 in 10. It is a bold, ridiculous goal, but we serve a BIG God who has laid it on our hearts to pray big and act now.

The first step: equipping and mobilizing God's people to effectively reach, serve, and disciple women who have been impacted by the sex industry. This year, we are raising $50,000 to make this plan a reality. The funding goes directly to the mobilization and equipping of the church.

Practically speaking, what does this look like?

Training for church leaders on why serving women in the industry is different from other types of ministry and how the Gospel directly speaks to their deepest longings and needs.
An ambassador program to equip passionate freedom fighters for the sake of the Gospel. We will train them on how to boldly proclaim in their circles of influence the power of the Gospel to change lives, educate them on the industry and how they can educate others, and identify others within their community who could serve.
Research about Greater Cincinnati areas of need and enhanced partnerships with local organizations doing similar work.

We know this stuff doesn't always spark a lot of stars in people's eyes. Blah, blah, "programs and research." So we want to share a couple of stories.

There is a sweet woman who I was able to connect to online. She was a trafficking victim and had been moved to another city to be sold over and over again. When we reached out to her, she said, "It is nice to know someone cares that I'm alive."

Another woman was trafficked through a local business. She had been trapped for a long time, in what was essentially indentured servitude to a local pimp. She saw no way out. Yet she was able to hear about hope from our team. We lost contact with her (likely moved out of state to be trafficked elsewhere), but we continue to pray. We may be the only people who know she is alive, aside from her traffickers.

One woman we met on the street was so afraid of whoever was holding her captive that she literally shook when our team talked to her. She refused to say anything or make eye contact, hoping the team would go away. She kept looking down the street at a car, likely her pimp. She was not ready for engagement from our team that day, probably because her pimp has beaten her in the past for trying to get any kind of help outside of him. But we want to keep showing up in places where she might be so that when she is ready, we are there for her.

We cannot literally drag women out of trafficking. We do not bust down doors. We cannot make anyone leave. Most exploitation and trafficking is more subtle than the movies depict. It is a lot more about psychological entrapment than physically being locked away. But it is just as painful and difficult--psychological torture leaves these women in a constant state of fear. They need hope.

That's why we do what we do. To bring hope. Not every woman we engage with is trafficked. We love any woman in the sex industry and want her to experience the life-changing love of Jesus. But we know that some of the most "inaccessible" women for us to reach with the hope of Christ are exploited and trafficked in hard to reach places. We want to reach them.

Help us reach women who need to experience the life-changing love of Jesus. Help us impact the 20,000+ victims of exploitation and trafficking in the Greater Cincinnati area by giving a sacrificial gift today. Help us reach 20 in 10.
