Rebecca Bender’s story, reveals how traffickers exploited God-given longings for love, family, and belonging. Her daughter, DeShae, lived through that journey alongside her, experiencing its impact as a child. Together, their story bears witness to the harm of exploitation and the courage, healing, and hope that can follow. Through her story of redemption, Rebecca reveals the light of God’s invitation to move from imprisonment to empowerment through the restoration He provides.

Join us for the 2027 Hope & Healing Luncheon as Rebecca and DeShae share in conversation with WTVM anchor Jason Dennis. Guided by Romans 8:39, we’ll reflect on the love that holds fast and the community that stands beside survivors through healing and restoration.
