About
We Need Your Help!
The Mercy Project Colorado was created this past year by a few people who wanted to make a loving impact in the lives of children coming out of the sex-trafficking industry. We are an organization seeking to establish faithful partnerships with safe houses and aftercare facilities in the United States and abroad to provide service and encouragement to staff and caregivers who work each day with these children. The Mercy Project believes passionately in providing these children with nurturing and loving homes, self-esteem and adequate life skills that are essential for a promising future.
We know that many organizations are trying to help people get out of the sex industry (We support them!). However, rescuing people out of that situation is only the beginning. Many women and children have been in the sex industry for years, and that is the only life they know. But aftercare facilities provide a time of healing and restoration to help survivors transition from the sex industry to a healthy life. An aftercare facility can help children recover from trauma and begin to trust others. Survivors can learn skills they may have never learned, many of them basic skills for leading a normal life. Most importantly, an aftercare facility or center can be a place where they can start to experience God’s healing love and develop into the whole person God intended them to be.
The Mercy Project is devoted to:
- Serving Christ: Creating a future where all children have the opportunity to know the life-changing message of Jesus Christ, experience the blessing of His grace, and to know Him as Lord and Savior.
- Restoration for Victims: Mercy Project staff and trusted partners work to see that children who have been victims of trafficking are equipped to rebuild their lives and respond to the complex emotional and physical needs that are the result of such situations.
- Partnership: By working with individuals and congregations, people are empowered to use their gifts and talents to meet the tangible needs of staff who provide the physical, educational and spiritual care for some desperate children.
