The World Race has always been deeply passionate about ending Human Trafficking. A World Race alumnus, Laura Meyers, had her heart deeply broken for the women and children who are victims of the sex trade in India. Through some personal relationships and multiple visits to India, she believes God is calling her to India long term.

Through partnerships with ministry partners in India, we have been broken for the need to replicate a safe- house style ministry in Mumbai, India. While the safe house will be a strong portion of this vision, it is in no way limited by that goal.

India is home to millions of street children needing safety and rehab. The caste system fuels an overwhelming number of beggars, diseased and unemployed individuals who accept this undignified life because their culture, quite frankly, says they must.

The India Initiative is looking for a team to come in and dream, to find a business strategy to come alongside a strong passion for the women, children, and "untouchables" in Indian society. India needs opportunities for employment for those that would otherwise not have it. India needs a safe place for the victims of sex and human trafficking rings. India needs to hear the voice of God in the midst of the other 33 million voices of other gods of the Hindu religion.

India is a harsh environment with great need. It is a place deeply loved by God and needs a team willing to learn how to operate in the midst of a strong culture vastly different than the Western world.
