We started the Justice Ministry in 2008 based on the promptings of God through dreams & prayers. A primary focus of the ministry is caring for those trapped in the exploitative sex industry through outreach; aftercare; community education; and partnering with local churches, as well as, national and international organizations. The ministry also provides assistance to victims of labor trafficking
as well as sex trafficking. We build avenues of restoration for each victim based on their individual needs. Our vision is to see a movement of justice in churches across the state, creating safe havens for victims all throughout the Hawaiian Islands. Since 2008, we have helped nearly 100 women, girls, and their children leave exploitative trades and pursue their dreams in life again. The young women who come through our doors average a 70% success rate. Our safe house saw over 20 residents in 2012 alone, ranging in age from 16 to mid-30’s. Over the years we have supported legislative change and seen Hawaii enact its first trafficking laws as well as bring stiffer penalties to traffickers, pimps, and customers by updating existing laws. Through outreach efforts we have connected with hundreds of young women, girls, and boys lured into Honolulu’s sex industry. We encourage people to get involved in the fight against trafficking.
