Why is Child Slavery Acceptable in Haiti?

Haiti knows brokenness.   There are few jobs. There is not enough food as it is, but the anticipated population explosion within the next 20 years will worsen this problem. It is often considered the world’s poorest country with about three-quarters of its population living on less than $2 USD per day.   Deforestation has eliminated 98% of Haiti’s forests, magnifying the effects of natural […]

Whose Job is it to Address Labor Trafficking?

Lola was 18 years old when she was “gifted” as a domestic helper to a Filipino family immigrating to the United States.

What is Set Free’s Stance on Prostitution?

  As a modern abolitionist, you’ve probably had some challenging and even uncomfortable conversations with people in your church, community, or family.   Modern slavery isn’t an easy topic to discuss, especially with people of differing theological and political perspectives. Especially if you represent Set Free, we ask that you are sensitive, respectful and open as you speak with others about […]

The Power of Walking Alongside

A guest post written by Ginger Coakley, CEO of Eden’s Glory. “Hospitality means primarily the creation of free space where the stranger can enter and become a friend instead of an enemy.

Building Community Might Not Look the Way You Think

Think of that word for a second – “community”. What immediately comes to mind? A group of people with a common interest? Maybe people who come together simply to enjoy each other’s presence?   Now think specifically about your community. Maybe it’s your church. Your co-workers. An athletic team. A group of friends. What does that group look like? Is it comprised […]

What Does Restoring Survivors Look Like?

It’s more than a house – it’s a home where hearts are transformed. It’s more than a program – it’s a new way of life.   For the women at Eden’s Glory, restoration starts with facing the past, shedding the shame, and seeking the truth, all in a supportive environment.    It’s identifying how one woman’s addiction was motivated by thrill-seeking and […]
