Being a part of The 4th Musketeer (https://4mca.org/) for many years I have had the privilege of watching Freedom 8848 develop and make massive strides in ending Sex Trafficking both locally and globaly. Being around an organization like 4M has inspired me to live a Micah 6:8 life; ..And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
In 2024 I felt a desire in my heart to sign up for the Everest
Freedom Challenge to continue to live out God's desire for me to act
justly, love mercy, and climb mountains humbly with my God. I truly
believe that through faith, personal sacrifce, and collaboration it is
possible to move the mountains of injustice in our world and bring
hope and healing to those trapped in sexual trafficking.
Whether it is a lack of information, or misinformation
surrounding Sex Trafficking I believe there is a huge opportunity for
us all to become better informed about the struggles of women,
children, and men, both in our communities and globably. While there
are fantastic groups like HER Victory and International Justice
Mission (IJM), these groups (and many others like them) are often in
need of additional and on-going finacial support to continue to shine
light in the darkness.
I strongly believe that Freedom 8848 and their Everest Freedom
Challenge can educate communities, inspire athletes and advocates, and
very tangibly support ministries doing the "hands-on" work
of fighting for justice.
AND, the fantastic thing is that supporters like yourself can
have a massive impact in moving these mountains of injustice. 100% of
your gift goes right to the frontlines to support HER Victory and IJM
and allows them to rescue and restore those trapped in Sexual Trafficking.
Thank you for your time in reading my story, checking out my
profile and exploring the websites of Freedom 8848, Her Victory, and
IJM. I hope you have gained for valuable insight and have had a desire
stir in your heart to become part of the groundswell!
There is good news for the captive
Good news for the
shamed
There is good news for the one who walked
away
There is good news for the doubter
The one religion
failed
For the Good Lord has come to seek and save

THE PROBLEM
Sex Trafficking is one of the fastest growing criminal industries in the world. Here in Canada, this crime takes place daily in our biggest cities and our smallest towns. The average victim of sex trafficking is recruited into the industry between the ages of 11-14. As you read these words, an estimated 50 million people are living in slavery. Stripped of their safety, dignity and liberty. This is nearly 1 in 150 humans. It's already illegal, now it needs to end.
THE MISSION
Our mission is to end the crime of sex trafficking by helping ordinary people stand with local and global anti-trafficking initiatives. Together we raise funds and awareness for our partner organizations as they fight sexual exploitation by Preventing trafficking, Rescuing victims, and Restoring survivors.
THE CHALLENGE
This August, Climbers will take on the elevation of Everest, here in the Canadian Rockies, at the 5th annual Freedom Everest Freedom Challenge. 100% of the proceeds will go to our partner organizations: Her Victory and International Justice Mission. Since our inception in 2020, over 1200 contributors have been involved in raising over $325,000 through our annual Everest Freedom Challenge. Now, we invite you to join the Groundswell too.
All proceeds go to carefully selected organizations.
We believe with your help we can become the
"...GROUNDSWELL of people standing together moving mountains for justice."
