Last week, our team had the privilege of attending the National Christian Conference on Sexual Exploitation in Louisville, KY—and what a powerful experience it was.

From moments of worship that anchored us in hope, to eye-opening sessions that deepened our understanding, the conference was a time of restoration, learning, and unity. We were moved by speakers who boldly shared truth about the realities of exploitation and affirmed the sacred work being done to combat trafficking across the nation—including the work we’re honored to carry forward through Esthers Rising.

We attended breakout sessions that challenged and strengthened us—topics like spiritual warfare in anti-trafficking work, the impact of pornography on how men view women, and the current face of trafficking in our own communities. These insights weren’t just informative—they were transformative. We’re returning with renewed clarity, deeper conviction, and new tools to steward your support with even greater purpose and excellence.

A heartfelt thank you to the Institute for Survivor Care for creating such a rich, restorative space. We’re coming home encouraged, equipped, and more passionate than ever to walk alongside survivors in their journey toward freedom and healing.
