We are busy at work putting the finishing touches on classes we believe will help individuals and groups alike:

- Healing From Sexual Abuse
- Detoxing From P**n Addiction
- Trafficking 101 (What is it and how to help people stay safe)

We'll continue to share more information as our class offerings near completion.

Please supervise and warn your kids and grandkids of the dangers out there.

Also, enough is enough. It's time to force change in our community. Our leaders must put forth solutions to sexual abuse/trafficking in our area.

If they don't, someone else will, but it may be too late for their family to be spared from the gut-wrenching trauma that can happen.

Esther 4:14: "For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”

While the investigation is still active, police say they've tracked a suspect all the way to California.

One of our values is to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Did you know CBMC members prayed on the farm of Billy Graham's father for God to raise up someone to preach the Word to the nations?

They had no idea God would use little Billy Graham to answer that prayer.

In that same vain, we are looking to continue revival in the Kokomo area and beyond!

If you're interested in joining CBMC please reach out.

May is Mental Health Awareness month.

Mental Health challenges can arise from many causes, but Sexual Assault is known to cause many issues:

PTSD/depression/anxiety/dissociation/substance use abuse/eating disorders/sleep disturbances/and other physical issues.

Did you know a person who has been trafficked is estimated to have the same levels of PTSD as a combat soldier?

We encourage everyone to educate themselves on the dire straits many Sexual Assault victims are in, pray for them, and help encourage their healing.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and the Pennsylvania Psychiatric Institute (PPI), a Penn State Health Enterprise owned by Penn State Health, is committed to shedding light on the far-reaching psychological consequences of sexual assault. Survivors often face many challenges as they navigate...

This will be a good watch this evening for awareness.

Our youth are at risk through Social Media and gaming platforms for grooming.

We took a closer look at the issue of human trafficking in Indiana.

I interviewed a 21-year-old Indiana woman who was trafficked as a 12-year-old. We're protecting her identity calling her "April.” She told me she met the perpetrator through social media.

Hear her story and learn about a local organization providing help to survivors on this WTHR-TV link.

Celebrating our 1st year on Facebook. We never imagined the sheer number of people we'd connect with, encourage, and be encouraged by.

And we're celebrating by sponsoring another ministry that is unquie in how it shares the gospel!

Glad to sponsor Wrestling Theology Fellowship tonight, and hear former professional wrestler Buff Bagwell share his testimony about trusting God, even through the trials!

We're thankful for police agencies working to free those trafficked and prosecute those guilty of these crimes.

Multi-Agency Investigation Leads to Felony Arrests

Earlier today, October 15, 2025, members of the Indiana State Police Peru Post, Indiana State Police Indianapolis Post, Kokomo Police Department, Battle Ground Police Department, Howard County Sheriff’s Office, and the Department of Homeland Security executed multiple search and arrest warrants. These coordinated efforts resulted in the arrest of three individuals on felony charges.

This operation stems from a fourteen-month investigation into human trafficking crimes linked to certain business owners and operators. The investigation revealed that these businesses were being operated as fronts for prostitution, disguised as legitimate massage parlors. Felony arrest warrants were issued and granted by the Howard County Superior Court II for Yanyan Zhao, 35, and Xingchen Li, 36, both residents of Noblesville, IN.

Search warrants were executed at several business locations and residences, including:
- Sun Spa, 608 E. Markland Avenue, Kokomo, IN 46901
- Dahlia Spa, 2717 E. 56th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46220
- Sunflower Spa, 5320 Madison Avenue, Indianapolis, IN 46227
- 16264 Red Clover Lane, Noblesville, IN 46062
- 320 Uxbridge Lane, Carmel, IN 46032

During the ex*****on of these search warrants, Ms. Zhao and Mr. Li were located, arrested, and remanded to the Howard County Jail without incident.

Arrested Individuals and Preliminary Charges:
* Yanyan Zhao, 35, Noblesville, IN:
- Corrupt Business Influence – Level 5 Felony
- Promoting Prostitution – Level 5 Felony

* Xingchen Li, 36, Noblesville, IN:
- Corrupt Business Influence – Level 5 Felony
- Promoting Prostitution – Level 5 Felony

Additionally, 56-year-old Hui Li, found inside the residence on Clover Lane, was arrested for Corrupt Business Influence (Level 5 Felony). Ms. Li was remanded to the Howard County Jail without incident.

One adult victim was recovered during this operation and has been provided with services, support, and shelter by the Department of Homeland Security, Indiana Trafficking Victims Assistance Programs, and the Howard County Prosecutor’s Office to ensure their safety and well-being.

This investigation is ongoing, and no further information is available at this time. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Indiana State Police Peru Post at 765-473-6666. All crimes mentioned in this release are alleged, and all suspects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

The Indiana State Police Peru Post received assistance from the Indiana State Police Indianapolis Post, Battle Ground Police Department, Kokomo Police Department, Howard County Sheriff’s Office, Howard County Prosecutor’s Office, Indiana State Fusion Center, Indiana Department of Revenue, Indiana Trafficking Victims Assistance Program, and the Department of Homeland Security.
