He Who Has an Ear, Let Him Hear: Saved in America’s Mission to Protect Children

Saved in America: Education, Awareness, and Recovery

At Saved in America, our mission is simple but urgent: to rescue children, prevent exploitation, and provide hope where it’s needed most. Every effort we make flows from three key pillars—Education, Awareness, and Recovery—which guide everything we do.

Education: Equipping Communities with Knowledge

Prevention begins with education. Saved in America travels across the country speaking to civic groups, veterans’ organizations, schools, chambers of commerce, and community leaders. Our team of current and former law enforcement officers and special operations veterans teaches communities how to recognize the warning signs of trafficking and exploitation.

We’ve trained organizations from the Human Smuggling & Trafficking Center in Washington, D.C., to local police departments, investigator associations, and even the Naval Special Warfare Command in Coronado, California. Our investigative techniques are also featured in the published work “Investigation of Missing & Exploited Children: The Gateway to Child Sex Trafficking” (4th Edition, October 2021)—a testament to the vital role education plays in prevention.

Awareness: Shining Light in the Darkness

The numbers are staggering: the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children reports that 1 in 7 runaways are likely victims of sex trafficking. Criminal organizations often prey on these vulnerable children, luring them through public spaces and social media.

By raising awareness, Saved in America empowers parents, schools, and communities to recognize the tactics traffickers use. Awareness isn’t just about numbers—it’s about faces, families, and futures. It’s about ensuring children are seen, valued, and protected before they can be exploited.

Recovery: Rescuing and Restoring Lives

When a child goes missing, every moment matters. Saved in America’s specialized team gathers intelligence and evidence to locate children, trafficked victims, and those at risk. Using a six-step process, our investigators identify victims, locate predators, and provide actionable intelligence to local and federal law enforcement.

But our mission doesn’t stop at rescue. For victims of sexual exploitation, we walk alongside them and their families, helping secure legal representation, safe housing, and rehabilitative therapy. True recovery means more than pulling a child out of danger—it means helping them rebuild a life filled with safety, dignity, and hope.

A Call to Listen and Act

At the heart of our work is a call to listen—to God, to families, and to the cries of children who need help. As Scripture reminds us:

“He who has an ear to hear, let him hear!” – Matthew 13:9

Saved in America exists because silence is not an option. Through education, awareness, and recovery, we stand on the frontlines to protect children and bring them home.
