The Value of Networking

The problems of sexual abuse, sexual assault, and sex trafficking world-wide are too big to be stopped by one organization, but if many people who are empowered and directed by the Holy Spirit work together toward the same goal, then these evils can be stopped in the lives of countless thousands. To this end, JSASSN International provides links to ministries world-wide that aim to stop sexual abuse, sexual assault, and sex trafficking and encourages people to support them.
