This ministry is a division of Salt + Light Ministry. We joyfully support each other.
Dani and a small team of volunteers have a beautiful mission. They go to the women on 82nd Street who are trapped in sex trafficking to deliver a life-changing message: that God sees every single one of them as a precious treasure. To show them the kind of love our Creator has for us: a love that asks for nothing in return. They don’t just speak the words; they bring gifts. Real, tangible gifts that say, “You are valuable. You are seen. You are loved unconditionally.” They don’t take a lot of their time since they are working and don’t want them to get in trouble. Yet, their warm smiles share hope with humans that have stopped believing that they can succeed at anything but their current work.
Do you have a heart to help girls being sex-trafficked, but don’t have the opportunity to meet them on the streets? There are other ways to make a difference! Prayer is the most important support, but you can also help by donating items for the gift purses given out on 82nd Street. These simple gifts often open the first door to conversation. They show care, dignity, and worth with no strings attached.
You can purchase those items here on our Amazon Wish List.
We also give the girls and women we meet little booklets called
I Am A Treasure: Survivor-Led, Trauma-Informed Care
Empowering women in the sex industry and survivors of trafficking to live healthy, flourishing lives. Equipping communities to bring that hope to life.
“The Truth About a Treasure” is a a beautifully created 32-page booklet intended to inspire women and remind them that they are loved, valued and purposed. One is included in each purse that is gifted to a woman.
“I stopped and talked to a couple girls as I was doing errands and gave them purses. One had a religious background. She asked prayers for safety. One asked prayers for prosperity. I had good conversations and prayed with both of them to find safety and prosperity through Jesus.”
