OUR STORY
Sharing the hope & love of Jesus with exploited & trafficked women in Miami…
Our Founder, Rachelle Starr, claims Florida as her home away from home. For many years, Miami has weighed heavily on her heart. In 2016, she met a woman who was trafficked to Miami, and after many failed attempts to find community and care for this woman, she began asking God to make a way for Scarlet Hope to come to this area. Over the past few years, our ministry in Lousiville has met more women whose stories are somehow tied to Miami, and some have even said, “Miami needs the Church Ladies!” God affirmed our calling to South Florida, and in 2020, He opened the door to launch Scarlet Hope Miami! Our prayer is that every woman in the industry from Palm Beach to Miami will hear about the wonderful, amazing love of Jesus and will be freed!
Our Efforts
The industry in South Florida is vast, with an estimated 30,000 potential victims. Our team is making an impact, one woman at a time, through the following efforts.
We maintain consistent weekly presence inside local clubs and through digital outreach, building trust with women over time.
