What We Believe

Reaching Above Hopelessness and Brokenness Inc., (RAHAB) is unapologetically Christian. We strive to go the places Jesus would go and to let His love live through us.

We believe we’re called to collaborate with all sectors of society and with others of different beliefs. We’re blessed to have supporters and advocates with different religious backgrounds who share our belief in the restoration of lives and in empowering those we serve to be all they were meant to be.

We don’t require those we serve to share our beliefs or to worship in a particular way. We weren’t required to do anything before Jesus gave Himself to set us free.

Mission

 

We provide Christ-centered transformational services to those directly affected by sex trafficking. 

Statement of Faith

 

  • We believe God created us to have relationship with Him and He loves to speak to us.

  • We believe Jesus brings down all barriers and is the only pathway to God.

  • We believe the Bible is awesome! We find the heart and hope of God through His words.

  • We believe it’s our role to help others discover the love of Jesus more and more.

  • We believe all people are made in the image of God – our nature reflects His. He loves every person and asks us to do the same. His love for us is why Jesus came.

  • We believe the Holy Spirit is in each believer and He reminds and empowers us to live a full, healed, and abundant life.

  • We believe if people don’t want to be connected to God and reject Jesus, they can choose eternity without Him.

  • We believe that God created us uniquely and purposefully, and that we won’t find wholeness until we embrace the fullness of who God created us to be.

  • We believe our brokenness shows up for all of us in our relational intimacy and sexuality, and that Jesus offers to heal our brokenness.

  • We believe Jesus meets us where we are, invites us all to be with Him, and leads us where we need to go.

  • We believe heaven is a real place and is an eternal “welcome home” for any who trust Jesus.

Core Values

 

Christ-Centered 

Jesus is THE CORE of everything we do at RAHAB and the reason we exist. The people of RAHAB work to point those we serve and the community around us to the hope of Jesus by how we think, and what we say and do. We strive to operate in Truth and Love as Jesus-followers and approach every interaction and decision through this lens. 

 

Relationship 

We lead with relationship first. Just as Jesus calls us into relationship with Him and meets us where we are in our brokenness, we reflect that love to those we serve, with each other, and in our surrounding community. We work to build transformational, healing relationships by affirming each person’s dignity and inherent worth without judgement or expectation and by offering safe, healthy relationships and empowering choice. And we celebrate big and small victories with and for each other. 

 

Relentless Pursuit 

Jesus goes after the 1; so do we. We recognize how Jesus has pursued each of us, and we faithfully show up and pursue vulnerable and exploited people in our community. We are resilient, courageous, and together do hard things. Healing from trauma is a messy, difficult road, yet we never give up on anyone and hold on to the hope that Jesus provides not only physical and emotional healing here on earth, but ultimate healing through His love and sacrifice.  

 

Excellence 

We believe our work should bring glory to God in not only what we do, but how we do it. We have integrity with those we serve, each other, our donors, supporters, and community partners by operating with the utmost excellence. We honor commitments, remain transparent in how we operate and steward our resources, and provide trauma-informed data-driven care to the best of our knowledge and ability as individuals and as an organization. We maintain a spirit of humility and openness to learning when changes need to be made.
