THE GOAL
Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked. Psalm 82:4
Rescue Innocence seeks to end human trafficking through prevention, education and empowerment. We partner with other organizations to assist those vulnerable, victims and survivors of human trafficking to find a safe place for healing and growth.
OURSTORY
Brent was led to co-found Rescue
Innocence in 2012. He trained
overseas with anti-trafficking groups
before bringing the organization
home to mid-Missouri. Since then he
has worked extensively to prevent
cases of human trafficking through
education, counseling and targeted
outreach. We have assisted many
victims of trafficking to begin new
lives and have established a men's
group to address "the demand" side of
trafficking and to counsel past
offenders. Brent and Nicki married in
2014 and welcomed their first child in 2015. They are eagerly anticipating welcoming their second at the end of 2018.
