Experience the best of Southern California as we take our Challenge to Orange County — where golden beaches, rugged hills, and endless sunshine set the stage for adventure. Partnering with i-5 Freedom Network, we’re shining light into Southern California, where human trafficking is prevalent, and inviting you to hike for freedom and justice. We’ll deepen our faith, passion, and sisterhood as we stand united against the injustice of human trafficking. Through guided hiking, prayer, and worship, we’ll seek heaven’s perspective, believing that God will move on behalf of the vulnerable and oppressed.  

Funds raised go to support global OM projects that bring freedom through prevention, development, rescue, and restoration, setting oppressed women and children on a path to freedom. Together, we’ll dedicate our steps to freeing the enslaved. 

 

Hiker Team

Challenge yourself, engage in powerful times of prayer, and be equipped to stand against human trafficking worldwide. We have trail options to suit different abilities (mild, moderate, and difficult).  

Prayer Team

Engage in focused prayer and worship on the issue of human trafficking and oppression. We will pray for the work happening worldwide and bless the hikers through prayer and service.
