What man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?

Luke 15:4 (KJV)

ABOUT SOS MINISTRIES

Carolyn and Jeremiah Byrd, Co-Executive Directors and Founders of SOS Ministries

SOS Ministries was founded to help the growing number of women and men who have fallen victim to sex trafficking and drug addiction (which often go hand-in-hand).

Once we target a city, our extraction team immerses itself within the local homeless population. We’ll identify victims and share the gospel of Jesus Christ with them. Once we build trust and rapport, we offer them an opportunity for escape. When they make the decision to leave, we must work quickly to get them to a safe house to detox for several days. We then place them in a long-term recovery program, usually far away from their original city.

We rely heavily on prayer, volunteers and financial donations to run this ministry. Please help if you can!

YOU CAN BE PART OF THE MISSION

You don’t have to be on the streets with our team to help change a life.
Here are three powerful ways you can stand with SOS Ministries.

PRAY

Prayer is at the heart of this ministry.

Pray for the women and men we meet, for doors to open, and for wisdom and protection for our team. Pray for those trapped in trafficking, addiction, and homelessness to find hope, courage, and a safe way forward.

Most of all, pray that every relationship we build points people toward the love, freedom, and new life found in Jesus Christ.

SERVE

There are many ways to put your time, abilities, and resources to work.

SOS Ministries depends on volunteers to help with transportation, fundraising, outreach, administration, events, and practical needs that keep the mission moving.

You may have exactly the skill, vehicle, connection, or availability needed to help someone take a next step toward safety, freedom, and a new beginning.

GIVE

Sometimes the difference between staying trapped and getting out is something surprisingly practical.

A gift can help provide a tank of gas, a bus ticket, a safe place to sleep, food, clothing, or transportation away from danger.

Your generosity gives SOS Ministries the ability to respond when an opportunity opens to help someone move toward safety, recovery, and a new beginning.
