About Our Organization

Samaritan Village provides safe housing at Ruth’s House for survivors of human trafficking. Every woman’s story is different, so to provide the quality of care we feel is important, we currently only house four “Family Members” at a time. For 12 to 18 months, residents receive intentional and intensive therapeutics – everything from one-on-one trauma counseling, to yoga classes. During this time, Samaritan Village assists with every need that may arise, including legal, medical, and therapeutic care, so that residents have the time and space to focus on their healing. The program is broken out into four distinct phases that focus on different seasons of the Christian walk, to lead residents to wholeness in Christ. Each phase includes a variety of classes, therapeutics, and fun activities.

OUR MISSION
A Christ-centered program for women transitioning from sexual exploitation to healing, wholeness and productivity.

OUR VISION
Communities where women live free from sexual exploitation, finding restoration and wholeness in Jesus Christ.

OUR VALUES
Christ-centeredness – We believe everything we do must focus on Jesus Christ, who is the higher power in Whom we are all equal and healed. Through Him, we can:

• Find personal dignity, honesty, and integrity, as we bear the image of God
• Find hope for holistic, life transformation
• Walk humbly, to the glory of God

Courage – We believe that long-term change also requires courage, to see ourselves and others change. Together, we strive to do the following as individuals and as an organization:

• Boldly be open, authentic, and transparent
• Build strong, safe, and healthy boundaries

Community – We believe that life-long change takes a “village,” and that we are meant to build each other’s future together, for the benefit of all. Thus, we seek to:

• Empower individuals see change in themselves and others
• Encourage a culture of engagement, volunteerism, and partnership

Compassion – As we focus on Him and find our courage together, we believe that we should all strive to be people of compassion. As individuals and an organization we seek to exhibit:

• Passion informed by expertise
• Patience and grace balanced by truth
