CATALYST MINISTRIES - OVER 1O YEARS -

Prompted in prayer and inspired by a new landscape of opportunity to meet broader need, Catalyst Ministries is pushing towards a new model that favors empowering and inspiring a likeminded network of ministry locations rather than on one or two local homes. As such we are phasing out operations of our residential locations in Rockwall Texas and Central Illinois. Residents that have graduated or are graduating Catalyst Ministries programs are being connected with ongoing care to get the continued assistance they need. New affiliate locations will be rolling out in the coming months as Catalyst Ministries steps in to spark action in underserved communities across the nation.

Catalyst Ministries’ commitment to serve survivors of human trafficking, sexual exploitation and abuse remains at the forefront even as our focus shifts to empowering a network of local ministry locations rather than ongoing operation of local ministry locations. We are confident that this focus on empowering young catalyst affiliated ministry leaders to establish new affiliate ministry locations as well as inspiring the greater public on our mission to restore women who are survivors of human trafficking and sexual exploitation will bear even more fruit in the years to come.
Raise Awareness
We educate and engage strategic communities on the realities of human trafficking and sexual exploitation, and to help strengthen, support, and advocate for the vulnerable. We are building a network of support that empowers survivors and fosters lasting change.
Rescue
We partner with individuals, local churches, organizations, and law enforcement to reach and rescue those that are oppressed. Together, we can make a significant impact and offer hope to those who need it most.
The Problem:
-
“The recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation.”

A New Season
We’ve now directly served over 40 survivors and raised awareness among thousands, having seen exciting life transformations and foundational changes in the lives of those we serve and serve with. We look forward to an even greater impact as our action shifts towards establishing a network of likeminded operating locations.
