There is something extraordinary about an organization that has been showing up faithfully for 135 years and still has more work to do. 🌿
We are spotlighting our next NH Traffick-Free Coalition partner: Vision New England
Founded in 1887, Vision New England is a network of more than 1,000 ministries across New England, united around one mission: accelerating evangelism by helping the Church make disciples, do justice, and share Jesus.

Their commitment to justice is what placed them at the coalition table, and that commitment is what makes this partnership so meaningful.

When a network this size decides that human trafficking is their problem too, the impact is felt in every corner of New England.

Combined with the workforce development and empowerment work we do at Restorative Hope Ministries, we are covering ground that no single organization could cover alone.

That is what a coalition looks like when it is working. 💚

❤️ React if you believe the Church has a role in ending trafficking!

Join a community film screening and expert panel discussion in Milford MA focused on online exploitation, sextortion awareness, and protecting youth in today’s digital world.

Melissa stepped away from the grill long enough to share something that every parent in this community needs to hear today. 🔥
We hear a lot about internet safety in a general sense, but sextortion is specific, it is targeted, and it is growing at a rate most communities are completely unprepared for. A predator poses as a teenager online. They build what feels like a real relationship with your child. They ask for an image. And when they get it, the manipulation begins. Your child suddenly believes their entire world is about to collapse around them, and most of the time, they face that moment completely alone because they do not know there is a way out or a safe place to land.
That is the conversation Restorative Hope Ministries is bringing to Milford, MA on June 11.
We are hosting a free community screening of Episode One of SEXploited in America, a non-graphic, critically recognized 27-minute documentary produced by All Girls Allowed Media out of Boston, followed by a live moderated panel discussion and open Q&A. Every parent, caregiver, educator, coach, pastor, and youth leader in this community is invited and encouraged to attend.
You do not need to have experienced this to benefit from this conversation. You just need to love a child.
And if you have already walked through this as a parent, please know: you are not alone, you are not to blame, and there are resources available to you. Reach out to us and we will connect you.

Today, we honor the brave men and women who lost their lives in service to this country, protecting our land and our freedom so that we may live safely.

To the families of those who gave everything, we stand with you and pray that God’s holy presence surrounds you with comfort and peace.

We also pray for God’s blessing over all active service members, whether home or deployed, as well as our retired veterans, the wounded, those missing in action, and prisoners of war.

May we never stop valuing freedom… and may we continue fighting for it in every form.

Thanks to Board Chair, Patrick Burke for his military service and thanks to Miriam Santos, for her active military service, pictured here with Melissa Mills.

The U.S. Department of Justice and FBI have announced the results of Operation Iron Pursuit, a nationwide crackdown targeting child exploitation, online predators, and human trafficking.

In just ONE month:
• More than 200 child victims were identified
• More than 350 offenders were arrested

One statement from the DOJ stood out:
“To the victims and survivors, know that this Department of Justice sees you, values you, and will relentlessly pursue those who harmed you. And to every child predator who preys on the innocent, we are coming for you.”
~ Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche

Here is the reality many people still struggle to understand…
Human trafficking and exploitation often do not begin with kidnapping.
They begin with vulnerability.
A lonely teenager scrolling social media.
A child looking for connection.
A young person carrying trauma, instability, anxiety, or emotional pain long before exploitation ever begins.

What starts as attention and validation online can quickly become manipulation, coercion, sextortion, exploitation, and trafficking.
Predators target vulnerability.

At Restorative Hope Ministries, we believe survivors deserve more than rescue. They deserve healing, mentorship, workforce development, stability, and long term support as they rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.

Help us be part of the solution.

What does it take to truly eradicate human trafficking? It takes an entire team of organizations, each covering a different part of the journey from exploitation to freedom. 💚
We are launching our NH Traffick-Free Coalition Partner Spotlight Series, and we are starting with an organization near and dear to our hearts: All Girls Allowed
All Girls Allowed is a Boston-based nonprofit working in the name of Jesus to restore life, value, and dignity to girls and women who have experienced exploitation and trafficking. Their work has three powerful pillars: they EXPOSE the realities of exploitation so communities can recognize it, they RESCUE AND RESOURCE survivors with the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and financial support they need to find safety and hope, and they CELEBRATE every girl and woman's God-given worth and purpose.
What makes this coalition so powerful is that every organization fills a different chapter of the same story. All Girls Allowed covers awareness, rescue, and restoration. We step in next, equipping survivors with real workforce skills and a pathway to lasting independence. Together, we make sure no one falls through the cracks.
We will also be bringing their incredible SEXPloited docuseries to our community this June. See the comment below to register for this FREE impactful event.

Here is the hard truth we talked about in Episode 3 of the Restorative Hope Podcast: human trafficking is not a distant, overseas issue you read about in the news. It is active in communities across New England right now, and most people around it do not even recognize what they are seeing.
Melissa and Miriam go there in Episode 3. They talk about why healthcare workers, first responders, and everyday people need better education. They also share what it looks like to press into faith when the answers are not coming, and why one of the most powerful things you can do in a hard season is simply keep showing up.
Episode 3 is coming soon. Follow our page so you catch it the moment it drops. And if someone in your life needs to hear this, share this post. 💚
