Redeemed Ministries

What Redeemed Ministries does

Redeemed Ministries is a faith-based 501(c)-style nonprofit organization founded in 2010 and headquartered in the Greater Houston, Texas area (Spring, TX mailing address; the physical location of Sparrow House is intentionally undisclosed for resident safety). It operates Texas's self-described longest-running safe home for adult female survivors of domestic sex trafficking, and has served more than 160 women across 16 years of continuous operation. The organization delivers a trauma-informed, holistic healing program structured around three service lines: the Sparrow House residential program (a 1-2 year, 24/7 on-site program with case management, medical/dental/vision access, therapy, sobriety support, and life-skills training), the Education Center (CPTSD recovery, healthy boundaries, and life-skills classes), and the Graduate Program (ongoing counseling, case management, financial support, and community for alumni who remain in the local Houston area). Client services are provided free of charge and intake is referral-based through law enforcement and anti-trafficking agencies.

The underlying operating model is donation-driven, not commercial: there is no proprietary technology platform, no paid product, and no per-client fee. Revenue is assembled from individual giving (including the Sparrow Circle monthly recurring program), corporate Freedom/Community partnerships (with named partners such as Veritas, NOV, Houston Airports, Talos Energy, Weatherford, Trucordia, Entergy, and others), church partnerships (Faithbridge, HFBC+, Kinsmen Lutheran, The Woodlands Methodist, Grace Presbyterian, TWUMC, etc.), structured Room Sponsorships of named spaces ($2,000-$3,000 annually), in-kind gifts via Amazon Wishlist, and three signature fundraising events — Golf for Good (8th annual in 2026, raising $113,000 toward a $125,000 goal), Keep Houston Free (annual gala with Platinum-to-Bronze sponsorship tiers), and Eat for Good (restaurant fundraiser). Leadership comprises Executive Director Laura Evans, Program Director MaryClaire Leggins, Development Director Christian Clawson, and a Board chaired by Randy Reich; the organization is ECFA-accredited and holds a GuideStar/Candid Transparency Seal (profile 8846961).

Redeemed Ministries' go-to-market is community-led: awareness and funding are driven through events, volunteer training (quarterly sessions at Kinsmen Lutheran and The Woodlands Methodist), church and corporate partnership programs, and direct referral pipelines from law enforcement and anti-trafficking agencies. There are no paid advertising or sales-led commercial motions; services are localized to the Greater Houston metro. Approximately 25 staff and contracted team members deliver the program, with active Direct Care hiring indicating ongoing capacity expansion.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Hope for Justice: International anti-trafficking organization operating residential homes, survivor advocacy, and prevention programs across multiple countries. Overlaps with Redeemed in mission and residential delivery model, but at much broader geographic scale and with more diversified institutional funding.
• Salvation Army: Global nonprofit providing shelter, addiction recovery, and anti-trafficking response programs across hundreds of U.S. cities. Overlaps with Redeemed on residential recovery, case management, and faith-informed service delivery, though operates at vastly larger scale and broader portfolio.

Direct peers

• Thistle Farms: Nashville-based nonprofit offering residential recovery and a social enterprise for women survivors of trafficking, addiction, and exploitation. Comparable on faith-informed residential recovery, social enterprise component, and alumni employment pathway adjacent to Redeemed's Graduate Program.
• Gracehaven: Ohio-based nonprofit operating a residential recovery program for girls and young women survivors of domestic sex trafficking. Comparable as a faith-informed, residential, case-management-heavy provider serving trafficking survivors with a similar intake, treatment, and graduation framework.
• Wellspring Living: Atlanta-based nonprofit providing residential and community-based services to survivors of sex trafficking, including long-term safe housing and therapy. Comparable in offering a multi-phase residential model with extended aftercare, similar in scale to Redeemed's Sparrow House + Graduate Program structure.
• Refuge for Women: Faith-based nonprofit operating long-term residential recovery homes for women who have escaped human trafficking and sexual exploitation. Closest comparable to Redeemed on model, mission, faith orientation, and residential length (typically 12-month program with graduate support).
• Freedom Place (Arrow Child & Family Ministries): Houston-area residential program serving child sex trafficking victims through long-term safe housing, therapy, and education. Most geographically overlapping peer and direct functional comparable, though Redeemed serves adult women while Freedom Place focuses on minors.
• Coalition Against Slavery and Trafficking (CAST): Los Angeles-based nonprofit (with Houston-area anti-trafficking activity historically) providing direct services, case management, and shelter referrals to trafficking survivors. Comparable as a survivor-services nonprofit working through referral networks in the same anti-trafficking mission space as Redeemed.

Others

• National Trafficking Sheltered Alliance: Membership/standards body for residential anti-trafficking programs across the U.S. While not a service peer, Redeemed's residential shelter fits within NTSA's membership network, making it a relevant ecosystem peer for sector benchmarking, accreditation, and best-practice alignment.

Emerging players

• Carrying Hope: Texas-based nonprofit providing trafficking survivors with mentoring, life-skills, and recovery support. Comparable on Texas geography and survivor-services mission, but focuses on mentoring/community reintegration rather than residential shelter.
