Bestow on her a Crown of Beauty, instead of ashes, the Oil of Joy instead of mourning, a Garment of Praise instead of a spirit of despair.

Isaiah 61:3

Mission

Re-fined’s mission is to form empowering and restorative relationships with survivors of sexual exploitation.

Vision

Our vision is for every survivor to be nurtured to wholeness through deep, connected relationships with Christ and His people.

Core Values

1. Centered on Christ

We believe that God is the one who holds the keys to true restoration and that all of our work begins and ends with His guidance.

2. Collaborative

We work best in close, supportive partnerships with other organizations in the community. We know that by working together, all of our efforts thrive.

3. Flexible

The needs of each survivor and each community partner vary widely, and Re-fined is committed to noticing the gaps in services and filling them whenever possible.

4. Relational

We believe God uses relationships and community to heal wounds, strengthen bonds, and move His kingdom forward. We are committed to offering an inclusive, healthy, warm community where everyone has a place.

5. Intentional

Re-fined takes our work very seriously, and having our staff, Board, volunteers, and donors learn as much as they can about the issues we are addressing, and our methods for affecting change is vital.

Our Goal

Freedom

Our goal is that through the Refinement Process, the sexually exploited can find freedom. Freedom to move on with life and be who they were created to be. We hope to restore dignity and identity, so the sexually exploited can learn their intrinsic value and find their place in society. Each month we have a variety of outreach events and touchpoints with survivors. There are so many ways you can get involved, from donations to volunteer opportunities.

The Problem

Sexual Expoitation

Sexual exploitation involves a person profiting from sexually using another person’s body to benefit financially or
otherwise. 

Commercial Sex Act

Commercial Sex Acts include prostitution, pornography and sexual performance done in exchange for any item of value, such as money, drugs, shelter, food or clothes.

Refinement

Refinement is the process of removing impurities or unwanted elements from a substance.

By the Numbers

In Denver alone the commercial sex industry brings in an estimated $62 million each year.

The average age a teen enters the sex trade in the US is 12-14 years old. Many victims are runaway girls who were sexually abused as children.

According to the CO Dept. of Human Services, homeless youth will be actively recruited within 48 hours of leaving home.

Run away and Unaccompanied minors make up the majority of at risk youth for sexual and labor exploitation.
