Illuminate the Path to Freedom
Houston is one of the largest trafficking hubs in the United States. In Texas alone, an estimated 313,000 people are trapped in human trafficking.
When law enforcement rescues a woman, they often have no place to take her for the long-term, comprehensive care that true healing requires.
Most survivors have endured years—sometimes decades—of exploitation and trauma, often beginning in childhood. Quick fixes don't work.
Restoration requires:
- Safe housing where healing can begin
- Specialized trauma therapy
- Addiction recovery support
- Life skills training
- A faith community that walks alongside them for the long haul
This is exactly what you provide through Elijah Rising.
Every woman deserves a chance to rebuild her life with dignity and hope. Your support makes that possible. Help us raise $1 million to expand safe housing and comprehensive care for survivors in 2026. Together, we can show every survivor the transformative love of Christ and the wholeness they were created for.
The Impact
Since 2020, you've helped us house over 100 survivors in our long-term Safe Home Program. Women in our care achieve remarkable outcomes:
✓ Achieve sobriety and sustainable recovery
✓ Reunite with their children and families
✓ Find rewarding careers and financial stability
✓ Discover their worth, identity, and purpose in Christ
As the only long-term trafficking recovery program in Houston proper, you're filling a critical gap that no one else can.
Help Us Reach More
Right now, women are on our waiting list for comprehensive care.
And as Houston prepares to host the 2026 World Cup—bringing unprecedented global attention and increased trafficking activity to our city—the need will only intensify.
You can meet this moment.
In 2026, your generosity will:
- Expand Emergency Care for women in crisis
- Build out technology that allows us to be available at all times to provide hope and healing to women who need it, reaching survivors wherever they are in their journey
- Mobilize the Community
- Equip and deploy volunteers to bring Christ's love to the 300+ locations across Houston where trafficking occurs
Help us raise $1 million to transform lives in 2026—providing comprehensive care, safe housing, and a pathway to wholeness for women who have survived the unthinkable.

Testimony
Four women in Elijah Rising’s Safe Home Program have recently professed faith in Christ and been baptized. To say that God is on the move in and through Elijah Rising is truly an understatement! We witness firsthand what it means that Christ came to set the captives free; whom the Son sets free is free indeed! Thank you for helping bring the Good News of freedom in Christ to the women we serve.
Your support is making an eternal difference.
