Project Rescue – General Session, Expo

Project Rescue is a ministry focused on transformational aftercare of rescued women and girls from sexual slavery. The rescue process begins when a victim is freed from the brothel. It is considered complete only when she is emotionally, spiritually and physically healthy enough to begin a new life on her own. Our holistic strategy is intervention, restoration and prevention. Restoring hope to a victim of sexual slavery can take several years given the devastating effects of long-term sexual exploitation. Without holistic aftercare, victims generally return to the darkness of sex slavery, as that is the only life they know.

Today, the ministry of affiliated Project Rescue initiatives includes eleven aftercare homes where young daughters of prostituted women and rescued women and children find compassion, transformation, and a new meaning in life. Through these shelters, medical clinics, vocational training units, and afterschool programs, our multi-dimensional rescue ministry has brought freedom to over 1,000 young women and girls. Affiliated ministries provide refuge in nine Eurasian cities, including Mumbai, Calcutta, Chennai, Pune, Nagpur in India; Kathmandu, Nepal; Kulna, Bangladesh; and Chisinau, Moldova. Project Rescue is unapologetically founded on faith in Jesus Christ’s life-changing power and love. Our team is committed to helping survivors of sexual slavery discover this love and pursue their God-given dreams.
