The Present Age Ministries Impact
This is What Showing Up Looks Like.
Present Age Ministries exists to protect teen girls from sexual abuse, exploitation, and trafficking — and to walk alongside survivors as they heal. Every number here is a life touched — a student who now knows the warning signs, a survivor who found a safe place to land, a parent or teacher equipped to protect the kids in their care.

Don't let the magnitude of it overwhelm you to where it paralyzes you. You stand up and you say, “There is something I can do and I will do it.”

Transforming Lives
Our Survivor’s Stories.
These stories reflect real experiences of abuse and trafficking. We share them with care, and with the survivor's dignity always first. Names have been changed to protect the privacy and safety of those we serve.
A Tale of Two Girls
A rough neighborhood. Two girls, different paths.
One grew up surrounded by scaffolding — a community center, youth leaders, a church, teachers who showed up. She leaned on them, climbed them, and found her way to who she was meant to be. The other grew up in a similar place, but without that same net beneath her. By thirteen, she'd survived exploitation by traffickers. She ran from home, from school, from the people meant to help her — until she was found at a gas station and connected with PAM's For the One program.
It wasn't an easy road. But through counseling, community, and consistent support, something began to shift. During a therapeutic horse-riding session, she watched a trainer unload the heavy bundles a horse could no longer carry on its own. "I don't have to carry this stuff by myself," she said. "I can let it go."
She's since gone back to school, rebuilt relationships with family and friends, and is working toward a future she can see clearly for the first time. Her neighborhood isn't perfect. But she has help now — and that's changed everything.
Faith’s Story
“The thought of worshipping your God disgusts me.” That’s what Faith told PAM the first time they met. She decided to try their services anyway — counseling, support, a way to quiet the voices that told her to run, to hurt herself, to keep using drugs. She kept running. But she also kept the Bible PAM had given her, holding onto it like a security blanket, even in her worst moments.
Everything changed on an ordinary day, with an ordinary gift. PAM handed her a bag of donated items — packed at random by a volunteer months earlier. Inside was a t-shirt with “Texas” printed across the front. Her favorite place she’d ever lived.
“We’re in the middle of a miracle right now,” the PAM staff member told her. “I want you to know there is a God who sees you and loves you.” That moment reached her. Not long after, Faith asked PAM to help her get baptized. Today, her family has moved back to Texas — and she’s in school, training to become a substance-abuse counselor, so she can walk alongside others the way PAM walked with her.
Rudy’s Story
Rudy came to PAM at eleven years old, carrying the weight of abuse and a fractured relationship with her mom. The road to healing wasn’t a straight line — it took a full year of steady, patient support before real change began. Along the way, PAM worked with both Rudy and her mother, recognizing that healing rarely happens in isolation.
The turning point came when PAM sat down with Rudy’s mom — really heard her — and offered her the support she’d needed for years. That conversation changed the course of their relationship. Mom and daughter began separate counseling, and slowly, both started to make progress.
Today, Rudy is thriving, with plans for life after high school graduation. She and her mom now extend grace to each other. As her case worker put it: “We all have our stuff we need to work through — Rudy’s mom needed someone to see that in her.” Rudy’s story is a reminder that healing sometimes means the whole family needs support, not just the child. At PAM, we believe no family has to walk that road alone.
