AIM, Agape International Missions, is working to relentlessly rescue, heal and empower survivors of sex trafficking towards finally being free. But freedom doesn’t happen right after the rescue, it happens as girls find themselves again through the gospel, love, and being taught they are more precious than diamonds. For these girls to truly heal and grow, they need to feel the unconditional, relentless love of Christ. AIM transfers these girls to a safe house where they are given therapy, education, and training for their future of choice. Over time, survivors progress on their healing journey as they understand their true worth and value, making these women unstoppable. Some choose become superheroes, focused on becoming abolitionists themselves; raising their voices and fighting for the freedom of other girls.
In addition to this, AIM’s protection programs are targeting the root of the issue by addressing the demand for purchased sex and protecting the vulnerable in the community. They stand up by partnering with the Cambodian government and help put an end to several brothels within the country.
We chose this ministry because being rescued from trafficking is only part of the battle. AIM does an amazing job providing all the care a girl could ever need with no time limit on her healing journey. She receives education and opportunities to pursue higher education, a loving and safe place to live as long as she needs, a caring community, job training and job opportunities, mental health counseling, and healing materials to help with trauma, PTSD, and spiritual guidance.
