OUTREACH
Outreach Ministries provide opportunities to give both financially and of our time and talent towards sharing the Good News and helping those in need.
The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor, He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind
to set the oppressed free. ~Luke 4:18

The Quilt & Kit Ministry:
Volunteer to quilt for kids and families in need
Often, when natural disasters strike or war drives families from their homes, our hearts ache with compassion but we don’t know how to help. If you’ve wondered how to volunteer to quilt for charity look no further. Making Lutheran World Relief Mission Quilts is a tangible way to express love to our neighbors in need. Quilts can be used as warm bedding, simple tents or floor coverings. Each one reflects God’s loving presence in a world rife with suffering.
If you’d like to learn more and become a part of this ministry of love, visit lwr.org/quilts.

People Are Not Property.
Every year, millions of men, women, and children are trafficked in countries around the world, including in the United States. In fact, the greater Milwaukee area has one of the highest rates of trafficking activity in the country. It is estimated that human trafficking generates many billions of dollars of profit per year, second only to drug trafficking. Drugs can only be sold once, but a person can be sold over and over.
Traffickers use force, fraud, or coercion to lure their victims and force them into labor or commercial sexual exploitation. They look for people who are vulnerable for a variety of reasons. Victims can be male or female, rural or urban, any race, any social class, any age. It is an invisible crime that is happening everywhere.
But there is hope.
Motivated by the love of Jesus, Exploit No More responds to the impact of sex trafficking through community education and supportive services. Exploit No More is dedicated to see all survivors of sex trafficking treated with dignity and have access to safe housing, supportive services and the ability to move forward to work toward their goals. We invite you to explore our website to learn more.
Because People Are Not Property.
Our Programs
Survivors of sex trafficking need and deserve a safe and dignified space to heal. Exploit No More purchased and lovingly remodeled an apartment building into the beautiful 8-bed, 4-bathroom Freedom House. In addition to a warm and safe bedroom to sleep in, good food to eat, a hot shower, laundry, personal care items, and internet access, we are honored to provide individualized case management services for our guests to help them on their journey to thrive.
