Over the past several months, our ministry has faced challenges, and those we serve have carried heavy burdens. In this moment, we sense the Lord calling us to lean into Him with greater dependence, trusting that true breakthrough comes only through His power. Scripture reminds us in Matthew 17:21: “But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting” (ESV).
From August 27th to October 7th, we are humbling ourselves before the Lord in 40 days of focused prayer and fasting. Each phase will lift up a different area of need:

We are deeply thankful for those who already give so faithfully of their time, talent, and treasure. If you have not yet given, would you prayerfully consider partnering with us in this season? Your support is urgently needed to help bring hope and healing to survivors of human trafficking.
