2025 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
Reshma’s story
in her darkest moment, God answered her prayers.
Born into extreme poverty in Southern Asia, Reshma childhood was marked by loss and fear. She prayed for a way out—a better life.
After her father died, she had no home and slept under a tree at just eleven years old. When her aunt offered her a place to stay, Reshma believed rescue had come—but instead, her aunt led her into the red-light area. Here, she was sold again and again.
But in that darkness, God was working.
Letter from the CEO
28 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 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 100% sustainable within country. 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 ministry’s expenses. This is the first of many steps to achieving financial sustainability on the continent of Europe.
