"I’ve known about the issue of human trafficking for some time now. I was really struck by the enormity of the issue after watching a documentary at a woman’s retreat in the Spring of 2010. I knew God wanted me involved but wasn’t sure how. I came home and told Marshall about the film and about my heart to be involved at a deeper level. We began to get more involved locally, attending human trafficking task force meetings, doing more research, and talking to people about the issue. Then, the opportunity opened up with Dignity Regained.
This is a worldwide issue, internationally, stateside, as well as locally. It is such a huge issue, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. But ... we can all do something and everything helps. Dignity Regained has opened a door for us to not only be involved but also fight back. We are so excited for the opportunity to help fight against human trafficking, help provide sustainability to those coming out of trafficking, educate others and provide others a very tangible way to get involved as well."
Marshall and Lindsay Partlow live in Colorado Springs, CO and have two little girls who constantly keep them humble and on their toes. They also work at OC International, a missionary sending agency.
