Our purpose
We are driven by our faith in Jesus Christ.
Destiny Rescue is driven by our faith to serve children in the darkest places across the world. We seek out and rescue exploited kids in the same way Christ helped victims in the midst of their vulnerability, serving them with gentleness, grace, and humility. And, over time, we earn the trust to share Jesus with them as well.
Give justice to the poor and the orphan; uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute. Rescue the poor and helpless; deliver them from the grasp of evil people.

Grantmakers are part of the story.
Destiny Rescue is committed to demonstrating our foundation partners’ impact on rescue and freedom work. Our International data and evaluation team gathers valuable data and breaks down what we collect to provide the real truth about the long-term transformation in survivors’ lives.
Grant funds are used directly for projects that rescue victims and empower survivors to stay free—helping reduce vulnerabilities and empowering survivors and their families to break generational cycles of exploitation.
Destiny Rescue storytellers take you inside the realities of what is happening on the ground by crafting blogs, videos and films that draw you closer to the work by showing how victims are rescued and how survivors are adapting, healing and living sustainable lives free from abuse.

One organization sharing a global purpose.
International structure―Destiny Rescue is one international organization sharing a single mission: rescuing kids and helping them stay free. With many national offices and partners around the world, Destiny Rescue International (DRI) provides global leadership for our partnerships.
Support offices―Most funding comes through three independent but united funding partner NGOs, including Destiny Rescue USA, Destiny Rescue Australia, Destiny Rescue New Zealand and Destiny Rescue United Kingdom (coming in 2025). Each office is responsible for raising awareness and funds while serving strategic partners who invest in our mission.
Destiny Rescue USA―Destiny Rescue USA, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization incorporated under the laws of the State of Indiana in the United States. Destiny Rescue USA has an independent board of directors making governing decisions regarding policy and the use of financial resources.
What our work makes possible.
Every day, millions of children are pushed or pulled into sexual exploitation and human trafficking. Perpetrators exploit children’s physical conditions, power disparities, poverty, and social norms – and the under-resourced communities they live in.
Our theory is this: if we rescue children, address the vulnerabilities that led to their exploitation, and equip local community partners and government agencies to fight exploitation, then child survivors will stabilize and be protected against revictimization.
Human trafficking is the fastest-growing crime industry in the world today, and right now, over a million children are victims of commercial sexual exploitation. Our urgency to rescue as many kids as possible – as quickly as possible – and equip them to stay free demands that we grow rapidly and responsibly.
Making sense of the data.
Destiny Rescue is diligent about ensuring that your grant is being stewarded well.
We are dedicated to providing timely reports after the grant period ends, and our evaluation team helps us ensure funding partners receive high-quality, verified data.
Our monitoring and evaluation team provides intelligence and insights that are useful to staff for driving continuous learning and improvement, producing evidence of impact and empowering survivors to participate in shaping programming to better meet their needs. We are currently field testing survivor outcomes assessment tools and conducting rapid local evaluations, so we can better articulate the change happening on individual, family and community levels.
It is pretty rare that the Tyndale House Foundation board will fully fund a proposal from a first-time grantee, so I think it’s fair to say we were very impressed with the organization, its leadership and its work in East Africa. Destiny Rescue is audited annually and makes all their financial documentation available on their website. In other words, they are committed to transparency in their financial dealings.”

We listen to survivors of trafficking.
In 2023, Destiny Rescue launched our first Survivor Advisory Council, a place where survivors make their voices heard and feel supported in the company of other survivors. The Council comprises women who were rescued as children and enrolled in a Destiny Rescue project and are now adults living free from exploitation.
Destiny Rescue believes the diverse and personal knowledge that survivors hold gives them the unique ability to translate lived experiences into meaningful systemic change. We listen with an open mind and provide support to ensure what we learn from them translates into recommendations for meaningful program improvement.
