FAQS+

The needs in the underserved countries we work in significantly outnumber the capacity of the local response. Because of this, the local law enforcement relies heavily on the evidence gathering, undercover investigation, and network building of NGO’s to help fight human trafficking.

As foreigners, we have the privilege of being able to either play “clueless foreigner” or foreign business person and can often get away with more than the locals can. This gives us the ability to go places locals may not feel comfortable going and create relationships without suspicion with our targets.

Rather than either us or them, we like to unite and work together as the body of Christ, each using the gifts and skills God has entrusted to us.

Full time staff at a counter trafficking organization stationed near where the injustice is happening, are inherently at great risk because the surrounding community is aware of the work they are preforming to keep people free. We want the community to know that they are there to bring hope and a place to turn to for those who have become victims and and to let it be known to those in the wrong that this type of injustice will not be tolerated.

On the other hand. The risk these staff would have to undertake to preform a detailed in person investigation dramatically increases the danger to their safety, family, or their organization. This often bars them from being able to gain some specific intel that we as outsiders are able to gather. This is often the missing link in these cases.

We partner with local counter-trafficking organizations in the target country and help fill those gaps. The gaps we continually see are more kinetic, often being in person intelegence gathering or surveillance. For us to be able to slip in and slip out in a two week period eliminates the danger of the local organization jeopardizing the stability and sustainability they have worked to build.

We need each other. We need their intimate knowledge with the issues, and their long term relationships with the local law enforcement; they need a team to help get evidence of injustices happening which may be outside their scope.

We have consistently found that a strong focus on meeting the needs of larger organizations by being a “gap filler” or “chain-link connector” to advance the efficiency or efficacy of trafficking cases is very helpful.

We work with other organizations who intimately know the problems and roadblocks they are facing within the contexts of the location, culture, and local laws. They know what it would take to stop local crime syndicates but are limited in certain steps of the execution.

These organizations know what would move the needle specifically because they feel the impact when they arent able to do so. When tasked we help clear these roadblocks so they can get back to doing what they do best.

We are not trying to go into places and assert new ways of doing things. We know that this may further fracture the collective efforts to fight trafficking in these target countries.

Rather our aim is to link arms and move the needle together, doing what we are uniquely qualified to do, while championing others to do the same.

We believe that Christians should be at the front lines of the worlds most tragic issues.

We are driven by this because we know how much our God cares about each and every one of the individuals affected.

Jesus gave his life for us and we believe that we also should lay down our life for others.
