The Call
Is Clear
The crisis of child trafficking is not abstract. It’s happening in our neighborhoods, in our states, behind closed doors.
We refuse to watch as vulnerable children fall through the cracks. Redemption Place exists to respond — to open homes, to heal, to restore dignity, and to prevent the next child from being stolen.
Why It Matters
Behind every number is a child:
A teenager forced into commercial sex, trafficked across state lines, manipulated into believing there was no escape.
A runaway youth with no safe place to sleep, approached by a predator offering shelter in exchange for dangerous “work.”
A child escaping domestic violence, only to face new forms of trafficking when no refuge opens its doors.
These aren’t just tragic stories — they’re everyday realities for children in our communities. Without intentional intervention, hope, or support, many lives remain broken and unseen.
Our Response:
Create Home.
The Local Gap — What We Face in Our Region
In many communities (including ours), there are no safe, licensed homes specifically for child survivors of trafficking, abuse, or substance-related trauma.
Even when children are rescued or removed from harmful situations, after-care resources are virtually nonexistent, particularly for minors who don’t qualify for state wards.
Without places of safety, many survivors are re-victimized, re-trafficked, or drift into homelessness and exploitation again.
The need for trauma-informed, faith-based restoration is urgent — the void is real, and the stakes are life and death.
Our Hearts
“He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son.” — Colossians 1:13
Redemption Place was born out of obedience to that call.
We believe that everything is forgivable and everyone is redeemable.
Through Christ, what was once broken can be made whole. Our work is a living expression of that truth — helping children move from captivity to confidence, from despair to dignity, from darkness to light.
