Restoration Ministries (RM) seeks to bring healing to men, women and children who are trapped in the slavery of sex trafficking and lead them into the freedom of Jesus Christ. RM is a member of the DC Task Force for Human Trafficking and International Christian Alliance on Prostitution (ICAP), as well as a member of the Christian Association of Youth Mentoring (CAYM). ADV member parish St. Brendan’s in the City is very supportive of RM’s work.

I first heard of 40 Days for Life a few years ago, after I began attending Christ the Saviour Anglican Church. There were announcements describing the campaign in several of their newsletters, and I sensed the Holy Spirit’s nudging to not only join in the prayers and fasting for an end to abortion, but to actually go to the vigil site to pray. I had never done anything like that before, and the thought was rather intimidating, but with God’s help I finally gathered the courage to go. It turned out to be a blessing, and not difficult at all.
