Van Tour Inspires Woman To Mobilize Churches To Fight Human Trafficking

Stories like this are possible because of you. Donate this Christmas to bring awareness of human trafficking to thousands more in Houston and help Elijah Rising to raise $200k by December 31st.

Your gift will raise awareness by educating and equipping key community leaders, NGOs, businesses, and churches to identify the signs of sex trafficking and create resources for women exiting the commercial sex trade.


The Impact of Van Tours

Since 2011, Elijah Rising has taken over 11,000 individuals on the Awareness Van Tour, which has resulted in an unprecedented and wide-spread impact. Many churches, organizations, and groups, including law enforcement agencies, have been trained to identify the signs of trafficking through the tour. Numerous partner organizations, non-profits, coalitions, and intervention teams have been launched as a result of people experiencing the tour.

Watch how Leigh goes from taking a van tour to leading an alliance of churches to end sex trafficking. For more information about the Freedom Church Alliance visit: https://www.freedomchurchalliance.org/
