Answered Prayer Leads To Two Restoration Homes Built In Two Weeks

December 8, 2019

We have seen miracle after miracle on the journey to provide restorative care to survivors of human trafficking. In this video, we share about an amazing organization called Eight Days of Hope (EDOH) who were an answer to a seemingly impossible prayer.

They completely renovated two homes and helped us salvage the foundation of a third home! Now the work they did at Elijah Rising is being used to inspire other aftercare homes to partner with EDOH. This testimony will lead to hundreds of safe homes built across the nation. This is huge because one of the biggest gaps is restorative care for adult survivors of human trafficking.

We hope this testimony will encourage you to pray bold prayers because with God nothing is impossible.

You can help provide Restorative Care for survivors of human trafficking by partnering with Elijah Rising. Give today and be a part of the miracle of a transformed life.

Check out this amazing video from Eight Days of Home about their partnership with Elijah Rising and the work of restorative care.
