EMPOWERMENT AND OUTREACH

This is a global effort, but our Director, Samantha Summers-Rivas, anchors much of her outreach in Las Vegas, Nevada. Our team there teaches about God’s heart of love and compassion toward people who have been abused and traumatized. They empower survivors of abuse and prevent other victims to become more confident, capable and courageous in their ongoing journey of restoration.

Our goal is to efficiently provide quality and effective care to those we serve that will set them up for long-term healing and success.

We are currently serving 30 families in Las Vegas alone. The range of children in each family we serve is from one child in the home to 10 children in the home.

We are currently operating with no safe designated meeting place. This unfortunately does not provide the women and children we serve with a sense of stability, since we have to meet with them in various public settings.

We have had many requests for bible studies and prayer meetings from those we serve. Unfortunately, without an office/drop-in shelter for us to consistently meet at, we are unable to accommodate this need right now. Due to the sensitivity of many situations we encounter, a public environment is not always ideal to provide a warm, safe environment for those who need our help.

Having an office/drop-in shelter will fill this need as well as act as a place for women to find safety, food, clothing, a shower and day-to-day supplies.

In 2023, we are going to add two more big strip clubs in Las Vegas to our outreach roster. One club has about 600 girls working and the second club has about 500. We can only do this with more case managers and a safe, stable place to meet. Our empowerment and outreach is becoming more known by word of mouth, and we would love to provide more quality care to those in need.
