In the past 4 years, since our residential program for survivors of sex trafficking opened its' doors, we have provided 365 days of safe housing each year.
100% of the women we have served have had the opportunity to receive the help each one has needed in the areas of their physical, spiritual, psychological and emotional
needs, in a caring environment of safety, security and hope.
Community professionals have provided pro-bono services that have enabled us to more effectively serve the women we work with and the diversity of needs they have. This type of involvement from caring professionals enhances the health, happiness and strength of a community, as individuals with specialized skills step in to impact the health and growth of those who need it most.
Area Churches, Businesses, Individuals and Families all play an important role in helping weave together a network of care and strength as they engage with Catalyst Ministries as donors, volunteers and prayer partners. Together we can do so much more!
The women who have graduated from the program through Catalyst Ministries have found so much greater freedom and opportunities than what they arrived with! They have full time jobs; financial stability; dignity; a supportive, ongoing community; greater overall health and stability; freedom from debilitating addictions; restored family relationships; safe and independent housing; and opportunities to pursue their dreams in a way that they could not have imagined before.
In addition to the services that Catalyst Ministries provides to rescue and restore survivors of human trafficking, since our beginning in the Midwest, we have continued to raise awareness in local communities about the realities of human trafficking and how individuals and groups can be involved in making a difference for those effected. We have established a second office in Texas, in the North Texas area, and have continued our track record of raising awareness in these area communities regarding the realities and needs of survivors of exploitation and human trafficking. In the coming months and years, we look forward to reaching more women and girls who are at great risk.
As our capacity grows in Texas, we are excited to be able to open another Restorative Home and to help more women step into a new life, on so many levels. Providing a safe, residential program that is trauma informed is essential for the sustained help and healing needed for these precious women.
Our current agency needs are for funds to build and open a Restorative Home and provide for the Program Staff necessary to support the residents of this home. We also have a need for volunteers in a variety of positions, as well regular, monthly donors to support the ongoing needs of the ministry.
We would welcome inquires and interest through our website at catalystministries.net or email through info@catalystministries.net. Please reference the Texas location and how you heard of Catalyst Ministries.
Catalyst Ministries is a faith based non-profit that reaches and rescues women who are survivors of human trafficking and exploitation.
Our method of fighting modern day slavery, which is human trafficking, is through providing a safe, restorative home where survivors can live up to 24 months, at no cost to them. We work with women who are 18 years old and up and provide all the services needed to provide for the layers of care necessary for healing and restoration. The wrap around services that Catalyst Ministries provides includes, but is not limited to: Safe and Restorative Housing; Food; Community Services; Insurance; Clothing:medical and dental care; trauma therapy through skilled and licensed therapists; Equine Therapy; Life skills training; vocational training and job readiness coaching; employment opportunities that lead to the goal of sustainable and independent living; mentoring; opportunities to pursue the the completion of GED classes and receive a High School diploma; post High School education opportunities for Continuing Education; Addiction Recovery support; A Supportive Staff and community to "walk with" in the healing journey; Opportunities to find purpose and peace through Christian, biblical support within Catalyst Ministries and involvement in the local church; and more.
We believe holistic and life transformation in the lives of women and children at risk is possible. We believe every person matters to God, and so every person matters to us.
We believe that every person has the capacity to be a catalyst for change through God's life-changing mercy.
