Freedom businesses are businesses committed to the Quadruple Bottom Line just like any other BAM business, but with an added dimension. They focus on training and hiring survivors of human slavery. The employees have been rescued from the trafficking industry, and are being restored to the dignity God intended for them. The process is not complete without a good job so they can re-enter society with integrity, joy and freedom.
The Freedom Business Alliance is a facilitator of more than one hundred such businesses (www.freedombusinessalliance.com); they have collected products from member businesses around the world, who employ survivors of human trafficking and those at risk.
Shop for a gift which will have a two-fold purpose. The gifts here provide jobs for rescued women and an opportunity to hear the Good News. In turn, it provides a meaningful gift for your friend or family member this Christmas. This holiday season, invite your loved ones into the powerful story of lives set free for freedom’s sake.
In addition to what you see on the FBA website, check out these sites for more Christmas shopping. Additionally, you might want to give a book with their stories, several of which are told in the book, Missions Disrupted: From Professional Missionaries to Missional Professionals, 2022. It is available here.
