Description

_ Run 4 Their Lives Charlotte in partnership with Compassion to Act (CTA):

Run 4 Their Lives is a Freedom 4/24 event that raises awareness and funds to bring sexually exploited women and children into freedom. For the 2017, Run 4 Their Lives will be highlighting the efforts of its international parnter, Christine's House, in Uganda and its local partner, Compassion To Act, in Charlotte, NC. Here is an overview of each organization.

Christine's House: Situated in Gulu, Uganda, Christine’s House is a place of hope and restoration where victims and survivors of sexual exploitation can learn to breathe again. In 2012, Freedom 4/24 partnered with Sports Outreach Institute to build a restoration home named after Freedom 4/24’s founder, Christine Gelatt, who was just 19 years old when she founded Freedom 4/24. Since its completion, Freedom 4/24 has funded the operating costs of Christine’s House. 

Compassion To Act (CTA):CTA is a faith-based ministry that serves victims through Awareness-Liberation-Restoration. CTA ministers to victims of labor and sex trafficking by: raising awareness in the community-at-large about modern day slavery; liberating victims through connecting them to the resources available within the Charlotte area, providing long-term shelter and a comprehensive care plan at Compassion Cottage; and helping them find restoration through mentoring, spiritual training, job training, and life skills training. They believe in Gods’ complete restorative power and it is their desire to see every victim of human trafficking set free and become all that God has created them to be.
