Hebrews 4:13 · Think again
Children
are not
toys.
While we worry about our child’s soccer team and birthday parties, another child is locked away, forced to perform, wondering, “Is anyone worrying about me?”
01 / Our purpose
To light a fire.
Human trafficking is closer to home than most of us realize. Children are being sexually exploited for the pleasure and power of other people. It is happening all around us.
Awareness is only the first step. We want to physically help all children: to see children who are being exploited found and rescued, and to keep more children from ever entering this nightmare.
We can’t do this alone, and we can’t do it as fast as we want. So we take one step at a time. We’re speaking on behalf of God’s children. Children who deserve love, peace, and happiness. Children who deserve not to be treated as toys.
Open eyes
Help people see how close to home this really is.
Rescue
Stand with the people who find and free exploited children.
Prevent
Keep more children from ever entering this nightmare.
02 / To the parents
Closer to home than you think.
This isn’t about living in fear. This is about understanding the warning signs and stopping abuse before another child becomes a toy.
A disgrace, not an achievement. Americans are the No. 1 consumers of live-streamed child sexual abuse. More than half the payments reported as used for child sexual exploitation come from the U.S.
children who are sexually abused are abused by someone they or their family know and trust.
CDC, 2024 ↗︎girls in the U.S. are sexually abused as children. So are at least 1 in 20 boys.

- Your community

There is hope
There is still a path out.
Repentance.Accountability.Choosing to stop.
“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
1 John 1:9“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, this person is a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.”
2 Corinthians 5:17Free confidential help for anyone having sexual thoughts or behaviors involving children. Don’t face this alone.
03 / To the person who thinks nobody knows
“And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are open and laid bare to the eyes of Him to whom we must answer.”Hebrews 4:13
Even when you believe no one sees what you are doing, God sees it.
He created these children, and He created you.
Your spouse may not know.
The police may not know.
But God, the Creator of all, the One who found you worthy of life, knows.
Our hope is that the choices you make each day are ones you and God can look back on as you stand before Him and, hopefully, hear Him say,
“Well done, my good and faithful servant.”
