GREETINGS FROM OUR FOUNDER

In January, Redeeming Love will be celebrating 5 years as a nonprofit organization. It's hard to believe! But what is harder to believe is that it has been 5 years since my first encounter with *Haley, the young girl who was being trafficked through web-cam pornography. Meeting Haley is what led me on a journey to discovering the massive epidemic of sex trafficking in the US and learning that there were so few resources to aid victims and survivors in getting out of the life and receiving help to overcome their immense traumas.  So, Redeeming Love was born to step in.

Now, myself and RL's Board of Directors are taking the organization to the next level by calling for the hiring of RL's first paid Executive Director. It's time to take this step; we need someone with deep nonprofit and fundraising expertise so we can serve more survivors, both in our existing home and as we expand to new locations. This will allow me to release daily operations in order to fully focus on leading the vision for RL and getting more involved regionally with our other partners who are fighting human trafficking. 

As a first step, we are beginning a search for an interim Executive Director, with the goal of that new person starting in the beginning of November. Once the Interim Executive Director is on board, day to day operations will be managed by this individual with continued oversight by the RL Board of Directors and myself. 

Please join RL in prayer for all of these things during this time that is both exciting and challenging. God is doing a NEW thing both in our residents and in RL, and we want to follow His lead.


Serving with you,

Charlene Heydorn, Founder & CEO

GivingTuesday
The holidays are just around the corner which means... #GivingTuesday!

Join us Tuesday, November 27 for this global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration.

Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving (in the U.S.) and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving.

Would you consider partnering with Redeeming Love this Giving Tuesday?



Here's How You Can Participate
 
1. Create an individual online fundraiser and really leverage the giving power of YOUR people by asking them to donate.

OR

2. Create a team fundraiser by joining your fundraiser with a group of other fundraisers within a team where you are all leveraging the giving power of your people TOGETHER.

Here's how that works: Suzy can start an individual fundraiser and ask Dan, Jenny and John to donate to her fundraiser. OR Suzy can start a fundraising team and ask Dan, Jenny and John to each join her team by starting their own fundraiser too. As a team, they are also leveraging the giving power of THEIR people to combine and become one powerful giving force to be reckoned with!
