Fight Human Trafficking + Child Exploitation.
It has been estimated that as often as every two minutes around the world, a life is being bought and sold as if it were merely a commodity to be traded. Human beings—image-bearers of God—are being captured and exploited. The exact numbers are hard to track, often inconsistent, and presumably underreported, yet they are a global reality steadily trending higher at an alarming pace.

Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT COUNTRIES ARE YOU SERVING IN? WHICH ORGANIZATIONS ARE YOU PARTNERING WITH?
Code Red Outreach is currently serving both domestically and internationally in more than a dozen different countries. For the safety and security of both the victims and the rescue operations on the front lines, we are unable to disclose more specific details, such as names or locations.
WHAT TYPE OF WORK IS THE FOUNDATION DOING TO IMPACT THE CRISIS?
The foundation is engaged in three phases of impact: through prevention with international community resource centers that come alongside at-risk families providing training and support to strengthen the family unit, preventing them from being taken advantage of in their vulnerability or having to turn their children into commodities out of desperation; through the support of rescue operations that extract victims from the darkest of places and bring them to safety; and through survivor care by creating a holistic community of care that addresses survivors’ physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual needs in long-term residential settings that nurture their healing and give them the tools for a life of freedom.
HOW CAN MY ORGANIZATION PARTNER WITH YOURS?
At this time, we are focusing our efforts on deepening our impact through our current strategic partnerships.

HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE WORK YOU ARE DOING?
- Pray: The human trafficking industry is an exceptionally dark place, and those victimized by it and those working to end it need your prayers. We also ask that you pray for God’s blessings upon Code Red Outreach as we move forward in carrying out our part of the mission.
- Give: We invite you to consider supporting us financially prayerfully. The mission is great, and it comes at a cost. But through your donations, we can make a real and lasting impact in the war against human trafficking. 100% of all giving goes directly towards ministry initiatives.
- Educate Yourself: We have included multiple website links below where you can learn more about this global atrocity that is taking place in every country around the world and every state within the U.S. It is closer to home than most people think and the first step in creating change is understanding the problem.
- Raise Awareness: We would love for you to share with your community about the work Code Red Outreach is doing. You can follow us on all major social media platforms, as well as join our email community where you can receive the latest information and news.
- Build Community: The unfortunate reality of human trafficking is that it is happening everywhere. We encourage you to be intentional with your community – check in on your friends consistently, build relationships with the at-risk in your community, keep your eyes open, and don’t be afraid to ask hard questions. Solid support systems can prevent trafficking from happening before it can occur.
