About Genesis Ranch
Our mission is to be a Christ-centered aftercare community committed to healing through holistic therapeutic services for commercially exploited girls. We are in the process of preparing a place that will exist to rescue, love and heal girls who have been exploited. By providing a comforting environment, access to medical care, education and vocational training, as well as life counseling, Genesis Ranch hopes to see commercially exploited girls experience healing and human flourishing. The hope is that healing found through Christ will culminate in a successful transition to mainstream culture.

About our Board
Tonia Burr became aware of the realities of sexual exploitation as God revealed himself to her as the healer. She has been heavily involved in her local church, as well as non-profit organizations dedicated to combating human trafficking. Her vision is to help others, especially survivors of sexual abuse, to know the healing power of Christ over the past and a hope through Him for the future.
