Rest Stop Ministries

The mission of Rest Stop Ministries is to comprehensively restore survivors and stop the oppression of human trafficking.

The vision of Rest Stop Ministries is to grow and develop our residential restoration program into a model of excellence, and to launch a social enterprise that supports both the financial independence of our graduates and the sustainability of our program.

We opened our doors November 2015 and we are getting excellent outcomes; we have current capacity for 8 women. We plan to grow and expand our service reach as funding permits.
