Redeeming Love Is Gearing Up To Give Birth!

On January 10th of this year, we celebrated our 2nd birthday. We've spent much of those 2 years in the infancy stages of our organization...learning, training, connecting...building a solid foundation on which to be able to provide consistent, informed, unwavering care for sex trafficked victims. But now, we are pregnant with anticipation, almost ready to give birth again.  Can you sense it? 

We moved into 2016, determined that this will be the year that we begin the opening stages for our first long term housing and 
comprehensive care program. We are so encouraged by the progress that has been made in the past 4 months which was only made possible by God through each of YOU.  I believe, more than anything, that this is a joint e ndeavor. That we are co-laborers of  this vision and that  we will accomplish this together . But, we need you now, more than eve r, if the vision is to be realized this year . Would you consider partnering with us in new or increased ways so that together we can see this vision to provide more housing for sex trafficked victims become a reality in 2016?  We have so many exciting things to come!

Will You Host a Yard Sale for us in April?


What better way to generate more funds for housing resources than to sell a bunch of your old unwanted stuff and turn it into something useful?! We are looking for individuals or groups who are willing to host a yard sale during the month of April and donate the proceeds to Redeeming Love to help us raise $12,000 toward our funding goal for this year.  Check out the link below to register and learn more!

Registrations are now open!

RL Will Come To You!



Did you know that Redeeming Love makes house calls? No, really...we do! Whether you've got a more intimate gathering of your family and friends in mind, a larger group event, or any size group in between. RL would love to come and share about the issue of sex trafficking in the U.S and our mission to provide desperately needed housing resources for sex trafficked survivors. We are happy to tailor our presentation to your group's needs. All you have to do is ask!
