THE COVENANT RESCUE GROUP

The Covenant Rescue Group was founded in June 2019 by a U.S. Seal and his wife. They saw a lack of skills and funding to properly rescue victims and arrest criminals involved in human trafficking.

Sharing a passion for children how fall victim to human trafficking globally, they decided to become active. They organized their passion, training and expertise to bring this wicked, organized enterprise to an end.

The CRG provide funding for real-life operations that lead to real rescues, arrests and prosecutions. The group provides equipment and training for law enforcement.

The CRG is a faith-based team, highly committed to the mission of human trafficking by advocacy, education, and operations.
