About Destiny Rescue
There are an estimated 27 million slaves in the world today – that’s 27 million men, women and children meant to be free. And millions of them are children currently enslaved in the sex-trade. Destiny Rescue is not okay with this.
Destiny Rescue is an internationally recognized, Christian based, non-profit organization. They exist to rescue sexually enslaved and exploited children, restore the abused, protect the vulnerable, empower the poor, and be a voice for those that can’t speak up for themselves.
Their efforts are making a huge difference. They have rescued hundreds of children enslaved around the world and helped keep hundreds more from entering the sex-trade through their various prevention programs. They have worked to ensure justice for those that have been wronged and have raised awareness to untold numbers of people.
Destiny Rescue will continue to answer God’s call to set captives free – to stand up and fight for the trafficked children of the world. As long as children are being sold into the sex-trade and poverty exists that drives at-risk children into prostitution, Destiny Rescue will be fully committed to fighting for their freedom, restoration, and offering them a chance to dream again.
Want to be a part of their army and help make a difference in the lives of these kids? You can get involved in the deliverance of children through the work of Destiny Rescue by visiting www.destinyrescue.org.
