Our Ground-Breaking Approach:
The safety of our children in North Texas and across our nation is at risk in every home with a digital device, due to the alarming reality of unnatural sexual attraction to children being promoted across our nation. We combat the devastating impacts of human trafficking, including familial trafficking and online child exploitation. We are committed to having difficult conversations about pedophilia, pornography, gender ideology, and their direct connection to trafficking.
30 Years on the Front Lines:
With 30 years of experience, Jaco Booyens is America's leading voice against human trafficking. Our team collaborates with over 170 anti-trafficking organizations and law enforcement agencies nationwide. We track the crime's evolution in real time, enabling us to conduct global gap analyses and advocate for the anti-trafficking community through legislation, awareness, and training. JBM identifies threats early and warns the American public about the dangers facing their children.
Our Strategy to Save Lives:
While we do real-life rescues, JBM has proven we can save more lives through early intervention. We are proactively intercepting minors before they meet up with potential predators. We train parents, communities, legislators, and first responders to identify at-risk youth. The average cost of rescuing and placing one victim in a safe house is $5,000. A safe house spends, on average, $40,000 a year rehabilitating that survivor. Our ultimate mission is to save children before they need to be rescued. “If you can break a child, you can break a nation.” - Frederick Douglass
Human Trafficking STOPS WITH US, and we are committed to ensuring that not one child will be trafficked.
JBM is an anti-trafficking organization led by the Holy Spirit to redeem the lives of children, victims, survivors, and those creating demand for sexual exploitation. We support real-life rescues and save children BEFORE they need to be rescued.
JBM has three pressing needs for this year's North Texas Giving Day:
- $30,000 will help support a case manager who will provide immediate crisis support, comprehensive case management, stabilization services, and long-term empowerment, and act as a liaison between survivors and support services.
- $25,000 will be used by our team to provide emergency response for food, travel, and advocacy services, and to meet the immediate needs of victims when rescued. This will ensure survivors receive the urgent care and support they need immediately.
- $20,000 will support complex cases that require long-term legal assistance, ongoing security, specialized counseling, and services for advanced medical needs for the survivors.
At Jaco Booyens Ministries, we believe that ending human trafficking aligns with God's love for all His children, transcending profiling, race, gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or class. We uphold that every life is precious and deserving of redemption, as Christ's love and salvation are meant for all.
