You won't regret it

Community Houses have been a foundational piece of Justice Ministry from the start. Since 2008 we've mentored well over 100 human trafficking survivors in their journey to leave the exploitative sex & labor trades. Most of them living with us in our homes and becoming a part of our church ohana. Our transformational homes and relationships with survivors have not only empowered the survivors to heal while equipping them to create a safe home environment for their own kids, but it has also changed our own lives.

Step into a truer form of yourself

We have become a truer form of our own selves and realized with greater clarity our own calling in life. We've been set free from the limiting mindset that we are created just to eat, sleep, work and go to church once a week.

Instead, we've found that we can actually have a life-changing conversation over breakfast. An after work walk can be deep with an honest heart to heart connection. The hospitality of a safe place to sleep can restore hope in one who has been in despair. A prayer for protection might be the glimpse of God a survivor has been waiting for.

Ultimately, we've learned we can choose to sacrifice in a way that is life-giving to our soul.

Getting started with a community living may seem intimidating. You might feel unsure how you could ever live with others or wonder if you are better in a supporting/mentoring role outside of the house. But you just can't get away from the feeling that should be involved in Justice Ministry some way. This course is perfect for you to learn the foundational structure of Bluewater community houses and how to make one of your own.

    Social Justice Director

    Hey friend! I'm Vern (Veronica Lamb) and I run the Justice Ministry side of Bluewater Mission. We equip everyday people & create community-based safe homes in Hawaii. Since 2008 we've mentored well over 100 sex trafficking survivors in their journey to leave the exploitative sex trade. I've personally lived with most of them as I ran the first safe house out of my own home... All the while working a full-time day job in the tech industry and raising two kids. It was fun. It was hard. It was worth it.Finally in 2017, after the birth of my second child and quitting my day job, I dedicated myself to combining my tech skills with my ministry experience to create training materials that can be watched anytime, anywhere, and aren't dependent on massive amounts of money or restrictive schedules. There are literally millions of human trafficking victims dying for a safe place to heal. The good news is there's 2.2 billion Christians in the world called by God to set the captives free. We can solve this problem. We can change the world. We just have to mobilize effectively & efficiently. Drop me a message and let me know what else you'd like to see covered in a Justice Ministry course.
