2026 Year End Giving Partner
Each year Grace’s Year End Giving supports both the GMR budget and an organization ‘outside the walls’ of GMR. This year leadership has chosen our partner organization, Life 107, to receive ½ of the year end giving contributions. Executive Director and Grace member, Joe Farris, leads the organization to fight sex trafficking from many angles. Life 107 supports survivors coming out of the industry, leads pornography addiction support groups, teaches online safety to teens and has a vision to build a residential restoration program that provides housing for women who have experienced sex trafficking and exploitation. Life 107 provided a free Safeguard Training on Pornography and Online Exploitation for GMR parents and youth back in the spring. The training focused on online safety in a digital world. Pornography and other forms of online exploitation are increasingly ever-present threats to the safety of our youth. Training parents and youth will decrease the risk of exploitation and pornography addiction.
Life 107 is providing anti- gender-based violence training materials in multiple languages to the summer 2027 Uganda team to train leaders. Gender-based violence fuels sex trafficking globally. When someone is abused mentally, emotionally, physically, sexually, or spiritually on the basis of their gender (most often girls and women) within their homes, communities, or countries, it leaves them vulnerable to human trafficking. The hope is that teaching our children that gender-based violence is wrong, they will break the cycle of traditions, beliefs, and the false teachings from religions that perpetuate this abuse.
