Sarah's Home is a non-profit. It is a home for girls who have been rescued from sex trafficking. Do to security reasons we are unable to tell you exactly where it is but we can tell you it is located in the state of Colorado. This home is one of the first of its kind in Colorado. Right now it is currently under construction and anticipates to be fully functional and open by the beginning of 2013. Our goal is to help them raise money so they can meet their goal. Sarah's Home will not only provide a safe Godly home for these young ladies it will also provide education, counseling and help enable healing that will need to be met.

The Retreat is a one day event to raise awareness and funds for specific non-profit organizations while dedicating a time for unity among the communities.
