Believing God created every person with dignity and value, Bringing Hope exists to share the love of Christ with women engaged in the illicit massage industry through trained team members establishing safe relationships with them and sharing hope for healing and freedom. We empower women through equipping them with opportunities to pursue alternative work of their choice.

At Bringing Hope Ministries, we take this call to heart. Our work is rooted in Scripture and fueled by faith—believing that love, consistency, and Christ’s light can restore even the most broken places.

The Hidden Crisis Behind Closed Doors
Every day, thousands of women are trafficked and exploited in plain sight through the illicit massage industry. What may look like a storefront spa is often a front for organized trafficking operations that span cities, suburbs, and small towns alike. With over 13,000 known illicit massage businesses (IMBs) in the United States—more than the number of McDonald’s locations—this issue is more widespread than many realize.
These businesses generate an estimated $5 billion a year in illegal revenue, yet very few cases result in arrests or justice for the women trapped inside. Many of the women are immigrants who face language barriers, lack legal documentation, and are controlled through fear, debt, and coercion.
This is not just a problem. It’s a national crisis—and it demands action.
“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
John 1:5
“I thought I was stuck forever. But they showed me I wasn’t alone. They kept showing up. Now I have a safe place, and I’m starting over.”
