In , Halie Meiners became the Executive Director. Many of them come from Dallas, Sacramento, San Francisco, and other cities, so our influence extends beyond Reno, Nevada. In , we started serving our women through the access of our Resource Center, and in , we launched our Hope for Her program where we hope to see continual growth and the floodgates opened up with women who are seeking self-led empowerment and a desire to grow in the Lord.
We cannot do any of this without our incredible team of volunteers. Read more about how you can serve and sign up for our next Volunteer Orientation. Every Thursday night, our outreach team goes into strip clubs in Reno, bringing a tray of finger foods and a Bible verse card and seeking to start conversations and build relationships in which we can share the truth in love.
We are unapologetically about Jesus, as we know He is the only hope for healing, restoration, and salvation. We want the women working in every illegal massage parlor, in every area brothel, and on every local street to hear the gospel of Christ and be transformed by it. We are praying that God will send more volunteers into this harvest.
Text Outreach is our newest initiative in Reno. Using technology that pulls phone numbers from sex-for-sale ads online, we are able to reach hundreds of potential victims of exploitation online with a message of hope. We are building a team of Digital Missionaries who will engage victims via text message and connect them to resources as needed.
The first step to becoming a volunteer is to attend an upcoming Volunteer Orientation. Below are all of the opportunities to serve within Outreach:. First, we GO to women wherever they are, and then we invite them IN to experience gospel-centered community.
