Project Moses
Project Moses is a mission founded by parishioners to highlight the truths of human trafficking and share the Light of Christ with its survivors. Read below for information on both efforts in fighting human trafficking and also associated ministry opportunities and events.
5.4 times a day a trafficked child is purchased for sex
3 MISSIONAL AREAS
To support the mission, 3 areas of concentration have been established: formation/education, advocacy, and outreach.
Partnering with New Friends New Life, a local organization providing services for trafficking victims, we provide meals for trafficking survivors and additional resources.
