OUR STORY

Sharing the hope & love of Jesus with exploited & trafficked women in Ohio…

In 2009, two volunteers from Louisville, KY moved to Cincinnati to plant a church, and they wanted to bring the ministry of Scarlet Hope with them. These two women began serving in one local strip club in Greater Cincinnati, each week bringing in a home-cooked meal. God was at work, and volunteers began to join the team, and they faithfully served Greater Cincinnati for many years.
 

In 2022, we expanded our ministry to have a greater impact in Ohio. The adult entertainment industry is largely moving online, and Ohio is no exception. We’ve identified over 15,000 potential victims of exploitation and trafficking online in Cincinnati, Dayton, and Columbus. That’s why we are focusing our efforts on reaching women online through our text outreach software and connecting them to local resources in cities that are closest to them. Our prayer is that God will build a network of hope within Ohio to reach all women in the adult entertainment industry with the hope of the gospel that they may find freedom in Christ.

Our Efforts

We are focusing our efforts on Columbus currently. As we build connections and our ministry grows, we hope to have local efforts in Cincinnati and Dayton as well. Learn more about efforts to reach Ohio’s adult entertainment industry with the hope of the gospel, one woman at a time.

Sign Up To Volunteer

We maintain consistent weekly presence inside local clubs and through digital outreach, building trust with women over time.

We connect women to local churches, resources, and long-term support systems.

This is not event-based ministry.
It is relationship-based and consistent.

We offer Bible studies, prayer, and relational support for women who desire to explore faith and healing.
