Governmental agencies, such as various child services bureaus, often refer victims and cases of child sex trafficking, or other child sexual abuse, to us. We have built several experienced operations teams adept at performing covert investigations designed to gather the evidence needed for authorities to take action. Through outreach, investigations and targeted prayer, we have assisted in the rescue of over 4,000 victims in total since our inception. In addition, the ministry combats human trafficking and sexual exploitation by raising awareness through our website, speaking engagements, awareness events and other activities. Aftercare: Breaking Chains works to bring healing, deliverance, and restoration to victims of sexual exploitation and trafficking. For this purpose, we have developed a specialized aftercare day program with a holistic approach that includes Bible study, discipleship, life skills and vocational training. The program,when implemented in Central America, demonstrated a 72% success rate and has brought transformation to entire families torn apart by sexual exploitation. Graduates of our day program have also proven very effective in reaching out to other trafficking victims, thereby increasing our impact. 155464 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 1 0 true 1 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 4 3 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true true false CA X Jill Folsom 6197526325 12806 ABRA PLACE San Diego CA 92128 JILL W FOLSOM Secretary 15.00 0.00 X X 5500 0 0 STEVEN T CASS President 70.00 0.00 X X 1184 0 0 DANIEL THOMPSON Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SANDRA TRAVER Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 6684 0 false false false 0 235489 235489 0 0 0 0 0 5500 6145 -645 -645 -645 0 0 0 0 234844 -645 0 0 0 0 16684 13184 3500 0 0 0 0 1008 1008 0 857 857 355 355 0 0 0 134 134 0 735 735 0 0 0 7697 7697 0 4438 4438 590 590 0 5647 5647 2513 2513 CARE FOR PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS 39240 39240 INVESTIGATIONS 30313 30313 TRAINING CENTER 27142 27142 AUTOMOBILE EXPENSES 10725 10725 15937 12700 3237 164015 155464 8551 0 124667 133474 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7026 4013 115479 8209 7717 107270 0 0 0 0 0 139410 244757 4600 10351 28767 4600 39118 X 134810 205639 134810 205639 139410 244757 70829 X false false false X 190169 154365 180115 188554 235489 948692 0 0 190169 154365 180115 188554 235489 948692 92540 856152 209 266 75 36 586 0 0 949278 0.90190 0.91970 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 36600 36600 49893 832 49061 28986 7377 21609 107270 CENTRAL AMERICA 0 0 PROGRAM SERVICES ABOLITION/AFTERCARE 72803 72803 72803 false false false false false false Form 990, Part VI, Line 11b: Form 990 Review Process All board members received an electronic copy of the 990 for review and approval prior to filing.
