Branson

NightLight Branson is addressing the issue of commercial sexual exploitation specifically in the Tri-Lakes
area, which includes the cities of Branson, Ozark, and Springfield, Missouri. The Tri-Lakes area, one of
highest drug producing in the nation, has 30% of their families living below the federal poverty line,
and has two national airports located within 50 miles of each other. These conditions, in addition to the
bustling tourism activities of the area, create an environment that is conducive for sexual exploitation to
take place.
NightLight Branson will address the issue of exploitation through prevention, intervention, restoration,
and education. Our prevention team will be working with at-risk children to break the cycles of poverty
and single parent homes by building relationships and sharing the love of God with them.
The NightLight Branson outreach team will head into the dark places weekly to meet with those trapped
in the bondage of the sex industry. This includes going into strip clubs, meeting those who solicit on the
streets, pimps, club owners, and individuals who are buying sex. We will head into these dark places to
encourage those trapped through the love of God. We believe only the love of God can redeem what
the enemy has stolen.
NightLight Branson will pair individuals with a mentor, and come alongside the mentors to help meet
spiritual, emotional, and physical needs that must be met to help them leave the industry. We know
that it is through deeply committed relationships that the broken find healing and truth.
The NightLight Branson team is spending time at local schools, churches, organizations, and events
educating the community by discussing the issue of exploitation while giving the community ways to
get involved. The Branson location will also be resourcing local churches in the fight against sexual
addictions, and pornography. We believe through education, and resourcing we can see demand in the
sex industry decrease.
In addition to dealing with the issue of sexual exploitation in the area, the Branson location will also be
training and preparing the next generation to address the complex issues of sexual exploitation. We
expect to find victory over the issue, and train up others to do the same all over the world.
