Modern-day slavery is the fastest-growing organized crime in the world, and we want to do our part to help liberate those impacted. Using the skills God has given us, we work to offer construction expertise, leadership, and labor to ministries who are rescuing and restoring victims of human trafficking.
The most important way to counteract human trafficking is to raise awareness for those being targeted and to know how traffickers engage with those at risk. We encourage you to begin the journey of educating yourself and those around you by checking out our new Human Trafficking guide or subscribing to our quarterly newsletter (launching in May of 2025).
