Elijah Rising mission is to end sex trafficking through prayer, awareness, intervention and restoration.
Restoration: Elijah Rising provides long-term, trauma-informed restorative care for adult women survivors of sex trafficking. This residential program focuses on eight dimensions of wellness: physical, emotional, spiritual, social, occupational, intellectual, financial, and environmental. The program also features case management, mental health services, mentorship, and job skills training.Prayer & Awareness: Elijah Rising hosts an average of five prayer meetings per week as a way of remaining focused on the organization's core values, while also mobilizing our faith-based constituency. Elijah Rising is committed to equipping people with the knowledge and skills necessary to identify the signs of sex trafficking within society and respond accordingly. As such, Elijah Rising provides some of the most creative and impactful awareness opportunities in the field of anti-sex trafficking ministry. The organization does this through the Museum of Modern-Day Slavery, the Awareness Van Tour, speaking engagements, and training. The Awareness Van Tour is Elijah Risings longest-running awareness initiative and has resulted in unprecedented, wide-spread, impact. More than 11,000 people have taken the tour over the past nine years. Numerous partner organizations, non-profits, coalitions, and intervention teams have been launched as a result of people taking the tour. Elijah Rising staff and volunteers participated in more than 50 speaking engagements and mobilization initiatives in 2019. Intervention: Elijah Rising facilitates multiple monthly outreaches to potential trafficking victims in high-probability trafficking areas across the greater Houston area. Volunteers provide gifts, resources, and a local help hotline number. Since its inception, Elijah Rising has reached, on average, more than 800 sex trafficking victims each year through direct outreach to women in illicit massage parlors, streets where trafficking and prostitution are commonplace, cantina brothels, truck stops, and women sold through online portals. In 2019, Elijah Rising trained and mobilized more than 400 volunteers for direct intervention. During the same year, we provided resources and the hotline number to over 2,200 individuals trapped in the commercial sex trade.
