Making a Difference


I started volunteering with Rahab's Rope last semester for an assignment in one of my Sociology courses. Only 10 hours were required, but I have been back to visit and volunteer with the store ever since. I used to care a lot about sex trafficking but became increasingly discouraged by the issue and felt helpless. However, at Rahab's Rope I can see how I am personally and directly affecting the lives of women trafficked and prostituted in India- it is such a huge encouragement to me. Learning about the stories of the women in India is really encouraging too- I get to hear about God transforming the women's self-images. And every product has a story, so the entire store is filled with accounts of people working and able to provide for their families- Rahab's Rope shines as hope for this world.
