Modeled after an exhortation from Dietrich Bonhoeffer, we believe, ''We are not to simply bandage the wounds of victims beneath the wheels of injustice, we are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself.”
Convicted of that reality, Restore Corps by Freed Life exists to eradicate human trafficking by holistically empowering survivors, equipping communities to identify & respond to human trafficking, and seeking justice through systemic change.
Our Vision
to see a community free of exploitation through the rehabilitation and empowerment of survivors & a community galvanized against human trafficking
Faith at Our 'Corps'
We are an interdenominational, Gospel-centered team, grounded in the belief that every person is created in the image of God with inherent dignity, worth, and purpose. We believe violence and exploitation destroy hope and lives, and that true restoration involves rediscovering one’s identity, value, and humanity.
Our work is fueled by our faith and spiritual conviction, and we seek to reflect the love, justice, and compassion of Christ in all we do. At the same time, Restore Corps is committed to serving all individuals with respect and without condition. We provide services and support to anyone impacted by exploitation, regardless of religious belief, background, age, ethnicity, or gender.
We do not impose our beliefs on those we serve. We honor each survivor’s autonomy and allow them to guide if, when, and how conversations around faith or spirituality take place. Our priority is to walk alongside each individual with dignity, compassion, and care.
We are grateful to partner with people of all backgrounds who share a desire to see lives restored and communities strengthened.
