Our Mission and Vision
Mirror Ministries’ mission is to respond to domestic minor sex trafficking with the love of Christ through local education, intervention, restoration, and aftercare.
Our vision is to see local victims of sex trafficking become survivors who have hope, healing, and restoration by:
- Educating the community through awareness presentations and training
- Connecting survivors of commercial sex trafficking with services and real options to find freedom through the Mirror Ministries Outreach Center and Survivor Services
- Reaching hospitality staff and managers through SUDS Hotel Outreach
- Reaching women and girls being exploited through SUDS Hotel Outreach and direct street outreach
Our Statement of Faith
1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, only infallible, authoritative Word of God. II Timothy 3:15-17
2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19; Ephesians 4:4-6
3. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.

4. We believe that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and that for lost and sinful man, repentance of sin and faith in Jesus Christ results in Salvation and that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation.

Our Story
Mirror Ministries is a result of years of learning, research, awareness-raising, prayer, and outreach. What began as a local church ministry became a nationwide educational experience, an annual hotel outreach, and the beginning of local survivor services. We have repeatedly stepped out in faith, trusting God to catch us and light the way for the next step. We are joyfully anticipating the next leg of this journey!
Several images resonated with us when we chose the name Mirror Ministries:
Our shared humanity is reflected in the face of every victim of exploitation. We see each one as an individual of inherent dignity and worth. Empathy inspires justice. This is the impetus behind SOLD: The Human Trafficking Experience.
We pray that every survivor of human trafficking will one day be able to look in the mirror and see reflected back a person with inherent dignity and worth. Mirror Ministries advocates come alongside survivors of commercial sex trafficking and help them see how God created them rather than how they have been treated.
The book of James likens the Word of God to a mirror: you can look into it and act based on what you see. We want to look into the Word of God and do what we see reflected there, including acting with justice, mercy, and humility.
We want to reflect the grace we have received to victims and survivors of exploitation. All of these images find their central point in this image: Reflecting the grace of God to victims and survivors of human trafficking. God’s grace is shown in the incarnation, death, and resurrection of Jesus as he entered into the suffering of humanity, was unjustly accused, condemned and killed, and was raised to life again, triumphing over suffering, injustice, and death. We have received unending grace in our times of need, when we have had no options, and when we have been enslaved to sin. We want to reflect the grace we have received to victims and survivors of human trafficking.
