2024 Annual Report

To rescue and restore victims of sexual exploitation through the love and power of God.

Our Mission.

Letter from the Executive Director

Friends of Project Rescue, 

I am excited to share with you all that has been happening within the Project Rescue network. As you read these updates, I pray your heart is stirred, and your faith is strengthened. God is working in miraculous ways among the sexually exploited, and he has invited us to be a part of that.

Over this past year, our network has grown in more ways than we could ask or imagine. We celebrate all the doors God has opened to bring more hope to more women and children in sexual slavery. But we also realize that with great growth comes a great responsibility. We consistently pray for wisdom to steward what has been entrusted to us and to ensure excellence in all we do. So, this year has been a year for Project Rescue to dig in. It has been a year focused on strengthening our teams, new and veteran. While we pray for more God-ordained encounters with exploited women and children, we also pray that those encounters would be stewarded even better than they were 20 years ago, even 10 years ago. We desire all our work to be trauma-informed, contextualized, holistic, spirit-empowered, and informed by our 27 years of collective experience in this ministry. That is what is necessary to bring about the life transformation that those in exploitation deserve. 

So, as we thank God for each life changed, each partner trained, and each outreach center launched, we also thank God for helping us as we strive to do what He’s called us to do with more accountability and more excellence than ever before! Friends, you are such an integral part of our work, and we are thankful for your investment into the hope and future of women, girls, and boys worldwide. Thank you for standing with us to fight for the good plans God has in store for each of them.

Their freedom is just the beginning!

Ministry Highlights

Claudia’s story

in her darkest moment, God answered her prayers.

Claudia’s journey is one of unimaginable hardship yet one of profound redemption. After losing her sister and drifting away from faith, she found herself trapped in an abusive situation in a foreign country—forced into debt bondage with no way out. Stripped of her identity and monitored around the clock, she felt hopeless. But in her darkest moment, God answered her prayers.

Letter from the CEO

27 years ago, Project Rescue was founded with one mission: to rescue and restore women and children caught in sexual exploitation and to introduce them to a God that loves them. Since that day, hundreds of thousands of women and children have found hope and healing through Jesus Christ. With the Project Rescue network growing exponentially, Project Rescue Foundation (PRF) was created in 2012 to provide financial support to the these initiatives around the world. 

As we look to the future, the Project Rescue network strives to become a financially sustainable ministry model over the next decade. This year alone, we have seen significant progress towards that goal. One of our newest ministry partners in West Africa is on track to be 100% sustainable within country by the end of 2025. In Europe, a beauty salon was launched to provide revenue for the local ministries and is operated by women who have gone through the Project Rescue Program. We are projecting net profits above $100,000 annually which will help underwrite many of the ministries expenses. This is the first of many steps to achieving financial sustainability on the continent of Europe.
