EP #26 - Nobody Talks About It. Melissa Brown Will Never Stop Fighting It.

About this episode

Melissa Brown discusses her journey leading a faith-based home for teen survivors of sex trafficking in Ohio.

In this episode of The Plain Values Podcast … Melissa Brown never planned to lead Ohio’s largest faith-based residential home for teen survivors of sex trafficking. A Catalyst conference umbrella moment in 2013 shattered her world … kids sold for sex, hidden in plain sight. She surrendered her “yes” to God anyway. Today, Safe Harbor’s 30-acre campus offers everything on-site: medical care, school, chapel, gym, cottages with private rooms. Girls arrive broken, often by someone they knew. Melissa plants seeds of truth, hope, love … replacing lies with God’s worth.
