About the Company
Our Mission: NightLight is an international organization compelled by love to reach out to, rescue, and restore all those who are negatively impacted by sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation. Our vision is to offer intervention to sexually exploited women and children, to enable them to discover their dignity, and to provide a program of holistic transformation, empowering them to live and work in their community. NightLight operates in both Bangkok, Thailand and Missouri, USA.
Our Team: NightLight is a faith-based organization. In Thailand, our staff team is comprised of local Thai staff and international staff. Our international staff are responsible for mobilizing a team of financial partners to pray and give for their personal ministry. This is called "raising support" and is a common practice among mission organizations. In Thailand, we invite international staff to join our work for commitments of 1 year or more.
Who We’re Looking For: Do you have a passion for bringing light to dark places, for reaching, rescuing, and restoring those impacted by the commercial sex industry, and for sharing the love of God with individuals who have been trafficked or exploited? We can’t wait to talk with you!
"I'm grateful to carry a burdened heart, because now I'm compelled by love to share hope with those finding themselves in despair... to shine light into darkness."
