HOPE61

HOPE61, a ministry of OMS, equips the global church body to prevent human trafficking in their communities and to build bridges to sharing the Gospel. The ministry emphasizes reaching out to all who are vulnerable to becoming involved in trafficking, whether as victims, traffickers, or buyers.

Inspired by Isaiah 61 and the hope we have in Jesus Christ, HOPE61 trains churches to:

• Understand what human trafficking is.
• Recognize what it looks like in their communities.
• Identify and use their talents, abilities, and resources to reach vulnerable people.
• Develop an action plan to reach their own communities for Christ.

HOPE61 offers two levels of training:

Engage

A one-day workshop that equips churches to prevent human trafficking in their communities. Through the Engage training, participants learn what human trafficking is, why the church can and should be involved, and how the church can prevent human trafficking in their community.

Multiply

A multi-day workshop that dives deeper into the prevention philosophy, teaches the content of Engage, and equips new Hope61 trainers to lead Engage training workshops.
The church has the biblical responsibility to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ; through the Gospel, the church also has the opportunity to transform communities into those like God intended—communities where human trafficking simply cannot exist.

Your gift to Hope61 will help prevent human trafficking around the globe as we train more national trainers and equip more churches to reach out to those in their communities who are vulnerable to trafficking.

“Human trafficking forcefully converts a human being to a commodity. One person profits by stripping rights and dignity from another person. There is no element of choice for the trafficked person; he or she is a product in a multi-billion dollar industry.” (The Exodus Road, 2021)
