SUMMARY:Route One Ministry  - Boston Prayer Walk
DESCRIPTION:Route One Ministry needs you! \nRoute One believes every woman has inherent value\, and exploitation of any type is wrong\, oppressive\, and needs to be abolished. We believe that each woman is the expert on her journey; our role is to listen and navigate the road together. Each week our outreach teams in Springfield and Worcester reach 40 exploited women by entering strip clubs and building relationships with the women who work there.  And we are looking to start a team right here in Boston! \nWe will be launching our Boston Prayer Walk Team in March! \nWhat is a Prayer Walk\, you ask? Well\, we here at Route One believe that prayer is powerful!  Before we step foot into a club\, we cover the club\, the dancers\, and ourselves in prayer for months as we prepare for entry and spiritual battle.  You can play a vital part in this battle! \nWe need volunteers to come beside us the first three Mondays of every month as we take this step in faith.  Women and men can both partake in the Prayer Walk; but please keep in mind\, only women can choose to continue once we are inside the club(s).  Starting March 3rd\, we will meet in the lobby of 131 Dartmouth Street in Boston.  We will open the night with prayer and a short devotional before taking the train two stops over to Chinatown.  From there\, we will pray in a group before we walk past the clubs and after we walk past – and silently to ourselves as we walk past. \nI would love to touch base with anyone who has any questions via phone\, Zoom\, or even over coffee!  If you are a pastor or leader within your church\, we are also willing to come and speak briefly to your congregation during or after church! \nDebbie Caraballo – Director of Outreach (debbie@lovedbyrouteone.org)

SUMMARY:Trafficking 101
DESCRIPTION:Trafficking 101 will take place via zoom on Saturday\, March 5th from 10:00 to 12:00 pm. In our time together we will learn about trafficking here in the United States\, unpack the difference between legalization and decriminalization of prostitution\, and explore how the church can respond.  Most people are unaware that 70% of women who enter the sex trade are girls who have aged out of foster care. Most are unaware that the average age of entry in the United States is 12-years-old. And\, most are unaware at what they can do about it. In this training you will learn all this and more. This training is lead by Rev. Bonnie Gatchell. founder and director of Route One Ministry. Route One has reached women sexually exploited for more than 12 years.

SUMMARY:Anti-trafficking Pastor's Brunch
DESCRIPTION:Please consider joining us for an Anti-trafficking Pastor’s Brunch. \nIn our time together we will hear from a survivor of the sex trade\, explore the statistics and facts around women being sexually exploited\, learn four different approaches to legalizing or decriminalizing prostitution\, and gain tools for responding as pastors/lay-leaders in the Church. \nWhile this pandemic has brought a lot of change and even some things to a permanent end\, trafficking is not one of those things. \nThroughout the pandemic\, women\, girls\, boys\, and men continued to be trafficked and exploited. Here is what is still true that was true 18 months ago: \n\nThe average age of entry into the sex trade is 12-years-old\n70% of women who work in the sex trade are girls who have aged out of the foster care system\n89% of women in prostitution would take a different job if they believed they had the proper support\nThe number #1 reason a woman leaves is with a trusting relationship showing her another way to live.\n\nPlease RSVP by October 4th at info@lovedbyrouteone.org \nor call 978-930-3136 for details.
