Luke 4:18
“He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed …”
Azalea reaches out to those trafficked and trapped in or vulnerable to sexual exploitation, supporting them to build new lives because of the love of God.
They are based in Luton, just a few miles from Northchurch. Their work has several different projects :
Encompass working with exploited women
Flint working with sex buyers
LASE (Luton Against Sexual Exploitation) working with the community
In addition a 4th strand is being developed - TAMAR - working with trafficked women.
Azalea provides both outreach and drop-in support seeking to provide practical services, care and acceptance to those
they work with. The whole work is underpinned by prayer.
