The truth matters.

Understanding what trafficking really looks like helps us recognize exploitation, challenge harmful myths, and create communities where survivors can find safety and a way forward.

She deserves freedom. She deserves hope. And she deserves to be believed.

🚗 When a car becomes holy ground: a Volunteer story. 🚗

Last week, one of our faithful volunteers was running on fumes. With so much going on in her own life, she found herself wondering if it was time to step back from volunteering at RSM.

Then, on the way to an appointment with one of the survivors we serve, something unexpected happened. What she thought might be a quiet car ride became a beautiful conversation.

This brave survivor opened up, shared her story, her journey to RSM, and her hopes for the future. Our volunteer simply listened.

When she dropped her off, our volunteer realized something profound: she had shown up empty and left full.

Sometimes we show up thinking we’re there to pour into someone else, only to discover that God has something to pour back into us.

We are so grateful for volunteers who show up, and we cherish these moments when the survivors are the ones who give back!

🏡 Come inside. This is where healing takes place

Today, we’re inviting you a little further inside our residential home, to see one of the spaces where restoration happens, one day at a time.

This is the library, a bright and quiet corner of home where she can breathe, reflect, and simply have a little space to herself.

It’s where she can curl up with a book, make a private phone call to a healthy friend or family member, or sit down and study as she works toward her GED. This room represents safety, privacy, peace, normalcy, and opportunity.

These spaces may seem simple, but they are part of restoration. Because healing needs more than a safe place to sleep. She needs a place that feels like home.

💙 We’re grateful for Mr. Ron! 💙

Some of the most important work at Good Hope Farms happens behind the scenes, and Mr. Ron is faithfully there to make it happen!

From keeping our 25-acre farm beautifully mowed to overseeing RSM’s fleet maintenance, he takes care of the details that keep things running smoothly.

We truly could not do what we do without faithful volunteers like Mr. Ron, who generously give their time, talents, and heart to support our mission.

To all of our volunteers, including Mr. Ron, THANK YOU!

We always love being part of the Missions Market and were so glad to be back again this year!

As longtime partners, it’s an event we look forward to. A few survivors joined us this weekend to help sell Good Hope Farms products and put into practice some of the skills they’ve been learning through our curriculum.

It was a great opportunity for them to gain real-world experience, build confidence and see what working in the community can look like.

A huge thank you to Southern Belle Birdies for putting together such a fun Fairways & Fireflies event benefiting Rest Stop Ministries at Lightning Bug Golf Course!

Krista and Amy truly thought of everything. We loved getting to be there and see all of the details they brought together, from the golf scramble and glow golf to the helicopter and even a hot air balloon ride!

We’re so grateful to every sponsor, vendor, golfer, volunteer, and supporter who helped make the event possible. Your support means so much to Rest Stop Ministries and the women we serve.

Thank you, Southern Belle Birdies, for choosing to support our mission and for creating such a special event.

Today, we celebrate ONE YEAR OF SOBRIETY with her!

We are so incredibly proud of her. Sobriety is not easy. And for a survivor working through the deep trauma of past abuse and trafficking, choosing healing day after day takes tremendous courage. We celebrate her bravery, her bold tenacity, and her hard work.

Today she is one year sober. One year stronger. One year closer to the freedom she deserves.
