What Is It? What Are Others Doing? What Can I Do? How Do I Give? About AB Women's Ministries

Did you know?
  • Approximately 800,000 to 900,000 victims annually are trafficked across international borders worldwide.
  • Between 18,000 and 20,000 of those victims are trafficked into the U.S.
  • The majority of those victims are women and girls.

The goal for the AB Women's Ministries “Break the Chains: Slavery in the 21st Century” national mission project is $250,000, to be raised from 2007-2009. Won't you help us meet this goal?

The funds received will be directed to ministries that address the sexual exploitation of women and children: 50% for ministries in the U.S. & Puerto Rico, and 50% for ministries that are international.

As ministries are chosen to receive funds, information about those ministries will be posted on this website--you'll become familiar with what the ministries are doing and what they plan to achieve, with God's help.

AB Women's Ministries region/state boards are encouraged to inform AB Women’s Ministries of their region/state “Break the Chains” project goals and provide an annual reporting of their participation so we may celebrate your work!

Administrative expenses (accounting functions, postage, meetings, staff time) will be covered by 10% of the collected funds.
