Human trafficking in Moldova is very real. In the past, most trafficked Moldavians were taken to Europe. Now many are taken to Turkey and the Middle East where the demand has grown and anti-trafficking efforts have not yet taken root. The situation is not improving, but only becoming more entrenched.
The numbers and statistics are staggering, but we must not overlook the fact that each number represents an individual. The Home of Hope is designed to be a home of safety, a home of restoration. As girls and women return to Moldova after months or years of horror, they are able to find a safe place to heal.
The Home of Hope is not a center or a clinic, but a home, a place where the love of Jesus can heal broken lives. No matter the time needed, this home is open to those that are desperate for wholeness. We have designed it as a place of beauty, where God’s peace can calm the greatest inner storms.
How can you help? You can help in four key ways: Learn, Care, Pray, and Support.
- Learn all about the issue, taking time to read and research. Get past the sensational and find the true issues.
- Care enough to get involved, both locally and internationally. There are scores of people who want to talk about the issue. We need people who care enough to do something.
- Pray for the ministry, both for the women and for the staff. It is a ministry that is in need of a miracle each and every day.
- Support the work with your giving. We do carry a heavy load financially each month and we need people who will help with the ministry. Click here to give online, noting Home of Hope in the comments.
