Human Trafficking & Ritual Abuse - The Story of Rachel

Rachel is a survivor.  After being kidnapped at the age of 4, Rachel returned home only to begin a journey through years of extreme violence.  She traveled around North America being bought and sold out of hotels, motels, truck stops, warehouses, homes, mansions, the back of moving trucks, and even church basements, Rachel earned her traffickers millions of dollars all before she was old enough to vote.  Her traffickers believed for enough cash nothing was off limits for their clients, so Rachel was thrown into a world of violent sadistic sex, alcohol, drugs, child ography and ritual abuse.     

As a result of her experience, Rachel now encourages other survivors to overcome their trauma by reclaiming their lives.  Rachel believes survivors must work together in order to successfully rid our communities of abuse.  Throughout everything, Rachel recognizes the impact her relationship with Jesus had on her ability to survive and overcome all she experienced.  Today, Rachel thrives as an active member of her community where she mentors at-risk youth, coaches other survivors, and promotes social justice. Rachel is unable to birth children of her own so she dedicates herself daily to nurturing kids who are generally tossed aside by a failed system.
