Hope for Freedom is a Christ Fellowship initiative to raise awareness, build partnerships and bring hope and restoration to victims of modern day slavery, both locally and around the world.

Here's the Reality of Modern Day Slavery

  • 27 million people are enslaved worldwide – 50% are children, some are sold for as little as $20.
  • Every 30 seconds, another person become a victim of slavery.
  • The average age of girls enslaved is 12-14.
  • 99% of the victims are not rescued.
  • Florida is 3rd in the nation for reported cases of human trafficking.

With statistics so overwhelming, you may ask yourself “What can I do to share hope for Freedom?” - As God’s people…His Hands, His Feet…we have been called to bind up the broken hearted and set the captives free from their oppressors (Luke 4:18)
