Lighthouse Fellowship - TX

Texas ranks as #2 for human trafficking in the nation.

The King will say, "I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!"

Matthew 25:40

It's a shocking and difficult concept to grasp, but human trafficking isn't a small problem that can be ignored as if that would make it go away. We hold a serious responsibility as Christians to stand in the gap for the lowly and defenseless, for the women and children who cannot defend themselves against the evils of this world. Our ministry, Chain Breakers, exists as the sole Texas extension of Set Free, an international ministry of the Free Methodist Church.
