Our Mission And Purpose:

Mission

Survivors Outreach Ministries is a Christian nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing victims’ rights through policy advocacy, legislative reform, and faith-based community engagement. Grounded in biblical principles of justice and mercy, Survivors Outreach Ministries in conjunction with HerVoiceHerTruth works to ensure that victims of crime and abuse are heard, protected, and restored through fair and compassionate public policy.

A nation where justice systems reflect God’s heart for the oppressed, prioritizing healing, accountability, and restoration for victims and survivors.

Core Objectives:

Influence legislation that strengthens victims’ rights and access to justice.
Educate policymakers, faith leaders, and the public on biblical justice principles.
Build coalitions between churches, survivor advocates, and lawmakers.
Provide research, policy recommendations, and testimony for legislative hearings.
Equip Christians to engage in advocacy through training and grassroots mobilization

What We Believe:

1. We believe that Jesus Christ is Lord, and that God alone is the true source of justice.
All righteousness, truth, and mercy flow from Him — and it is through His wisdom and authority that justice is rightly established on earth.

2 Dignity and Respect – Every survivor has the right to be treated with compassion, fairness, and respect throughout the justice process.

3. Access and Equity – Victim services and legal protections must be accessible, inclusive, and equitable across all communities.

4. Empowerment and Voice – Survivors must have meaningful opportunities to participate in decisions that affect their rights and recovery.

Our Approach

We identify and address policies that may inadvertently reduce accountability for offenders or weaken public safety, often referred to as ‘soft-on-crime’ policies such as:

Gaps in current laws (e.g., inadequate restitution, insufficient protections, lack of trauma-informed procedures).
Barriers in access to services, such as limited availability of counseling, shelter, legal assistance, or language-appropriate resources.
Systemic issues in criminal justice processes, including slow case processing, inconsistent enforcement of protective orders, or poor communication with victims.
Needs expressed directly by survivors, gathered through surveys, listening sessions, or consultation groups.
Inequities affecting marginalized communities, such as disproportionate victimization rates and reduced access to support
