The people over at Tony's Chocolonely are upping their anti-slavery activism today with the release of a new line of chocolate bars that seeks to move the industry and #endslavery in cocoa once and for all. Can't wait to try them -- they'll probably taste even better b/c the profits will be going to women through the payment platform 100Weeks.org!

Bringing Hope to Cebu

8/20/2018

0 Comments

 
  • There has been a rise in Online Sexual Exploitation of Children (OSEC) in Cebu
  • In this kind of cyber sex trafficking, the victims are often much younger such as infants and toddlers, which creates more complex physical, emotional and psychological harm to their victims.
  • The Philippine National Police (PNP) and Women and Children Protection Center Field Unit have reported that from 2016 to early part of 2018 …
  • 80 victims of OSEC that have been rescued from their perpetrators in the Metro Cebu area. Of this number, 90% are minors.
  • The most poignant part, however, is the breakdown of the minor victims: ​​
Picture
  • They were victims of human trafficking, cyber sex-trafficking, online porn, regular porn, and forced prostitution
  • So God has raised up Restore to be the FIRST restoration center for infants, babies, and children who have come out of the darkness of cyber sex trafficking in Cebu.
  • This will be Christ-centered, gospel-grounded care. Please consider supporting Restore through prayers and financial giving. 
  • Please pray for God to bring healing to this nation and to these precious children.

State of Grace: Scholarships of Hope for Stateless Children

11/9/2017

3 Comments

 
Picture
Since 2011, HOPE Be Restored has been providing support and scholarships for stateless children in various parts of the world. Stateless children have no citizenship, no passport, and few, if any, options for education, medical aid, and jobs. In Thailand, for example, they are not given a legal means to work, except in the sex industry. As a result, many stateless children fall victim to sex traffickers who take advantage of their vulnerable situation. But one glimmer of hope is if they are able to graduate from a college or university, Thailand will give those students Thai citizenship. That opens up a whole new world of hope and opportunities for them and their families.  We were able to support one of the first stateless students to graduate from a university in Thailand several years ago. And in South Korea, there are estimates of over 20,000 stateless children hidden in plain sight, without any government willing to help them. 

HOPE Be Restored is committed to restoring hope and creating new futures for these precious souls. 

DID YOU KNOW, that $1,000 can help a stateless student through one year of college in Thailand? And after just 4 years, that student will have a whole new world of opportunities opened up to them. 

Would you prayerfully consider sponsoring a scholarship for these students during this coming Christmas season? 

If you feel led, please give this season and give a new future to a child today:

Save My Seoul Wins Best Documentary at Film Festival

From Pastor Eddie: 

"Thank you for all who have prayed and supported Save My Seoul over these years. This film was a tool that God placed on my heart to make back in 2011 so that through it, it would bring about a cultural shift in Korea's understanding of sex trafficking and prostitution. Please continue to pray that God would use this as a means of changing hearts, attitudes, laws, and most of all, to bring an end to slavery in South Korea. I'm so blessed by the feedback we've gotten over the film and our editor recently sent me this photo of the recent award it won at a film festival for best documentary. All glory and thanks to God, our Great Abolitionist. If you haven't seen it yet, you can download the video through iTunes or Amazon video."

Project Evergreen

Evergreen Educational Center is almost complete! This will be a restoration center providing counseling, education, vocational training, and life skills for children and teens who have been rescued from trafficking, runaways, and other vulnerable groups. The CEO of the construction company, which is one of the oldest and largest in Korea, read Justice Awakening and was convicted to join the fight for justice in Korea. As a result, he donated the services of his company (of over $3 million) to build this center for free ... in order to set the captives free. What an amazing testimony of God moving in people's hearts to pursue the passions of His own heart. 

As of now, the center needs a remaining $40,000 for equipment, furniture, and other necessary supplies in order to prepare for the center's opening (hopefully by the end of June). Please join us in praying for the remaining funds. 

And if you or your church feel led to give, you can send a donation to Hope Be Restored: 

In Korea: Hana Bank: 573-910013-48605
In the USA or through credit card: http://give.footstool.org/hbr
