Rest Stop Ministries: Restore Survivors, Stop Oppression! The mission of Rest Stop Ministries is to comprehensively restore survivors and stop the oppression of human trafficking. Our vision is to grow our long-term residential restorative care program in the Nashville, TN area for women who have been victims of domestic sex trafficking and to develop our social enterprise, Good Hope Farms. We began operations in 2015 with an 8 bed capacity. Our model program provides trauma-informed, survivor-centered healing in developmental phases culminating in financial independence for our graduates, the last necessary step to complete the cycle of healing for effective societal reentry. Globally, there are 50 million people in modern day slavery today...more than any time in history. 80% are women and children trafficked for sexual exploitation. Sex trafficking is a 150 billion dollar business. It is the 2nd largest and fastest growing criminal enterprise on the planet. Nashville, TN is a hotbed for sex trafficking activity according to the TBI. TN is also an award-winning state regarding our infrastructure to fight this crime, but we lack enough shelters and long-term rehabilitation programs for survivor need in TN. Help us fill this service gap by growing our capacity!
