Come 

on an 

Adventure! 

We invite you to journey with us to see firsthand 

the work we are doing in Cambodia and 

Thailand! You will learn about the evil of child 

sex trafficking – and see the ways Destiny Rescue 

is working to restore children’s lives. 

On a Team Trip, you will have the chance to meet 

and interact with rescued girls. You’ll get to know the 

volunteers and staff who are fighting to end child sex 

trafficking. You’ll visit a red light district and see the 

environment where we are rescuing girls from. You’ll 

experience major cultural sites; eat delicious Thai and 

Cambodian cuisines; travel 6 cities and 2 countries. 

This is a truly life-changing trip. 

A Team Trip is more than just a great adventure. We 

want to inspire and empower you to make a difference 

long-term. These trips are a chance for you to gain a 

deep understanding of the issues surrounding child sex 

trafficking – and what you can do to help end it! When 

you return home, you’ll be armed with the education 

and passion to continue working to help end child 

exploitation. Your stories could even inspire your family, 

friends, church and/or co-workers to join the cause.

The Destiny 

Rescue Story 

Destiny Rescue is committed to liberating 

the enslaved and restoring those who have 

been abused. 

Destiny Rescue is an internationally-recognised 

Christian non-profit organisation dedicated to rescuing 

children trapped in the sex trade. Our vision is to 

recover the sexually exploited, restore the abused, 

protect the vulnerable, empower the poor and be a 

voice for those who can’t speak for themselves. 

We currently operate our various programs in Thailand, 

Cambodia, Laos, the Dominican Republic, the 

Philippines and India. 

Since 2011, we’ve rescued over 2,600 

children around the world. 

Funds raised from our team trips 

go toward rescuing kids! 

Destiny Rescue realises that human trafficking is a 

global problem. We’re determined to respond to God’s 

call to set captives free worldwide. Until no more 

children are sold, forced or coerced into the sex trade, 

Destiny Rescue is fully committed to fighting for their 

freedom, restoration and future.

Lee’s Story 

Lee was only 15 years old when her mother 

forced her out of home and told her she 

needed to make money to support the 

family. 

When Lee set off to search for work, she met a woman 

at a noodle shop and explained to her that she was 

looking for a job in a restaurant where her friend works. 

The woman appeared to call her friend and told Lee 

that she was waiting for her at the restaurant and that 

they would go there together to meet her. 

When they arrived, Lee discovered that this was not a 

restaurant, but a building with many rooms. She was 

told to go inside and wait for her friend, and tomorrow 

she would start work. 

But her friend never came. Instead, the woman 

prepared a room for her and told her to sleep there. In 

the evening, the woman ordered Lee to shower, apply 

makeup and put on a short skirt. Lee was confused, 

and wondered why her friend was not there. 

The men started to arrive, asking for sex; one man took 

her into the room. Lee began to cry, afraid of what was 

to come. Over the next four months, she endured what 

no child ever should. 

“I was violently raped and beaten. I would scream and 

cry for help but nobody came and the customers didn’t 

care”, Lee says. 

When Destiny Rescue made contact with Lee, she was 

so traumatised she was not sure she could trust them. 

The second time they reached out to her, she was 

rescued. 

“Now that I am at Destiny 

Rescue, I am very glad and 

my heart is happy,” she says, 

“I have many friends and have 

made many relationships. All 

the girls smile, not like the 

girls in the brothel”. 

With your support, Destiny Rescue can save more 

young girls like Lee from a life of sexual slavery. 


Amphone’s Story 

Amphone has come from a family in a small 

village in Laos that has struggled to meet her 

basic needs of healthy meals and a place to 

live safely in. 

As a result Amphone ventured into the city at the 

young age of 13 to find a job that would help support 

herself and her family. 

Unfortunately Amphone found herself in a workplace 

that exploited her lack of skills and desperation to find 

a job by forcing her to work in the darkness of sexual 

slavery. They promise her a wage she never received 

and a safe home that she never got to live in. This is 

unfortunately a very common story that many of our 

girls have had to endure. 

Thankfully with the help of our rescue team Amphone 

was able to escape this nightmare and come into a 

home filled with love and a safe place to rest. She has 

been with us for eight months now and is making 

the most of her new environment. Taking on new 

challenges every day and overcomming them. 

Amphone graduated the first phase of our program 

in November last year and has since become a part of 

our internship program. Amphone is now learning new 

skills in the hospitality industry and loves sharing about 

her experiences to anyone that will listen! 

Her internship supervisors have been so impressed with 

her willingness to learn and work hard that they have 

offered her full time employment at the end of her 

internship. This was great news for all of us! 

Amphone has not only overcome the challenges her 

past created, but she has excelled in the opportunities 

provided for her and now has an exciting future ahead 

of her. 

We have no doubt that Amphone will continue to move 

forward in leaps and bounds!
