January Mission of the Month – Renew Hope/Amborella House – a non-profit that provides recovery and shelter services for women victims of sex trafficking. Their mission is to redeem, restore and renew the lives of women who have survived sex trafficking and sexual exploitation.
Housing is the single biggest need in Minnesota communities communities as it relates to the issue of sex trafficked young adults. While there are more resources for minors, there are very few resources once a young person turns 18 years of age. The home is supplied with every need including food, extra clothing, toiletries and fully stocked kitchen and laundry. The house, which sits on over six acres, is fully fenced and supplied with a security system. The home is also staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for safety and for the ongoing programming that Amborella House provides our residents.
First Wednesday of each month goes to the church Benevolence Fund – please give generously to support these missions, thoughtfully chosen by the Minnewashta Diaconate Board. The Missions of the Month are in addition to General Fund donations.
NOTE: When making a contribution to a Mission of the Month, please make checks payable to Minnewashta Church. We will send one check to the charity at the end of each month. Thank you.
