Purpose Takes Stage: Preparing for World Cup

This year’s MPI KC Annual Conference, brought together meeting professionals, sponsors and purpose-driven partners from across the region. ReHope was honored to be highlighted on stage and in spirit – amplifying the movement to end human trafficking and restore hope for survivors.
A Voice That Broke the Silence.
In a powerful moment that silenced the room, Kristy Childs, survivor-leader at ReHope, shared her journey of resilience and restoration. Her testimony sparked both tears and resolve and was later featured in FOX4KC media coverage for its bold truth and unwavering hope.*
Marketplace with a Mission.
The ReHope Market was also onsite, offering survivor-made goods that not only raised funds, but opened conversations. Every purchase made was a vote for freedom, a moment of empowerment and a reminder that healing can take many forms.
Attendees didn’t just learn about the issue – they left equipped, inspired and invested in making a difference.
