Our Vision
Gather women from around the world to challenge themselves for oppressed, enslaved, and trafficked women and children worldwide.
Our History
The Freedom Climb - In January of 2012, 48 women from seven different countries gathered in Tanzania and climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro–the world’s tallest free-standing mountain–to declare freedom for those who could not. Climbers from all over the world have continued that mission. Since 2012, The Freedom Climb has led women and climbed the Rockies, Alps, Kilimanjaro, and Everest Base Camp. Through these climbs, The Freedom Climb has raised over $3 million dollars to help oppressed and enslaved women and children.
The Freedom Challenge - In 2015, we expanded our activities out of only the mountain ranges. Now, women participate in any physical activity they choose. This might mean walking in a 5k, running a marathon, or swimming laps in the local pool. Anything that uses a physical challenge to raise money and awareness can be your way to engage in our mission.
We are a Ministry of OM
The Freedom Challenge is a ministry of Operation Mobilization (OM), a global Christian missions organization. It was founded in 1957 and strives to see the fullness of God's Kingdom revealed where He is not yet known.
The funds we raise flow into OM projects focused on freeing vulnerable and oppressed women and children. These funds remain within OM’s ecosystem, ensuring direct oversight and impact. Freedom Challenge strengthens this connection through mission trips and donor visits, offering firsthand engagement with the work.

We believe that our prayers in God’s hands can bring freedom for the captives and justice to those who are oppressed. Pray with us for God to move the mountain of human trafficking and oppression.
CHALLENGE YOURSELF
We participate in challenges, doing more than we ever thought physically possible, to advocate for the freedom of women and children.
GIVE GENEROUSLY
We fundraise to help bring transformation. The funds raised flow into Operation Mobilization’s ministries focused on freeing vulnerable women and children worldwide.
“The awareness we raise helps multiply the Kingdom of God.”
