Become a Homestead Chapter
through a partnership with Homestead
The Homestead as One Solution
Homestead Ministries Inc. (HMI) has been in operation since July of 2012. For the first five years we have operated in a group, transitional home model, with much success. However, the costs and responsibility of running the Group Home Model is much greater in comparison to the Host Home Model, however both focus on preparing, equipping, and empowering the community to step into the transformational process of human sex trafficking victims. This will be accomplished through HMI establishing a Homestead Ministry team, with both models, in the participating community who will be trained to provide holistic care for a survivor. Another exciting partnership will occur between the participating local team and the professionals in their local community. No longer do lay people have to be relatively hands off in combating the atrocity of human sex trafficking. This partnership with Homestead makes it affordable and feasible for laity to do the work of this ministry primarily by housing a survivor with a host family or beginning a group home in the local community. Fighting social injustices is not the government’s responsibility, but the passionate laity’s privilege and calling. HMI believes that God’s people are the hope of the world and that Jesus Christ is the transformer of lives.
