Matt Robertson, Director of Relational Advancement for Agape International Missions
Girls are sold for sex every night, and this is completely unacceptable. Following God’s heart for justice, AIM is doing whatever it takes to relentlessly rescue, heal, and empower survivors of sex trafficking. When survivors are rescued and provided a safe place to heal and experience the powerful love of Christ, their lives are transformed. Not only do these girls survive, they become abolitionists, joining us in the fight, as teachers, artisans in our employment centers, and social workers, ministering to girls just like them.
In my family, we have a saying that “hurt people hurt people,” BUT … “Healed people help heal people” as well. This is only possible through the love of Christ! Come here stories of transformation that will inspire and encourage you as we continue to fight sex trafficking, one life at a time.
