Rebekah Charleston’s story is one that is unfortunately too common. At the age of 17, after running away from home, she found herself trapped in the world of human trafficking, as a victim. After ten years and no way to escape from multiple traffickers on her own, it was the federal authorities that ultimately provided her a path to freedom and safety. Given a new lease on life, she hasn’t shied away from her experiences, instead she has used them as a source of inspiration and a way to educate others on the prevalent world of human trafficking in America. Through her work as a consultant with the National Justice Training Center and Executive Director of Valiant Hearts, Rebekah has dedicated her life to preventing others from having to experience what she did. In the years that have passed, Rebekah has won numerous awards for her work, including 2016’s Survivor Leader Award, has been featured by numerous news outlets such as Deadline Crimes and TEDx, received a master’s degree in criminal justice and has given birth to her loving son. Rebekah Charleston has a story to tell — a story of desperation, a story of hope, a story of triumph and a story of survival.

Today, he’s serving the God he once denied, extending God’s transforming love to the very people he once hated. Renod is the author of “Muslims: 5 Biblical Essentials,” a primer for Christians who are curious or concerned about Muslims, and “The Way to Paradise,” a groundbreaking Bible study tailored for Muslim seekers. Renod’s powerful stories and principles have catalyzed everyday Christians around the world to reverse alarming faith trends and change lives for eternity. When he’s not empowering others to share their faith, Renod spends his time hiking through forests and enjoying good Lebanese (Jesus-food) with family and friends.
