TESTIMONIALS
​
"Jesus didn’t say, “bring the world to us”, but rather, “go into all the world” (Mark 16:15). The Jonah Project is a shining example of this commission, going into the dark and sad places to rescue the broken and hurting. Both in our community here in Spokane and also on a broader level, working with Homeland Security and other public and government officials, they strive to show the love of Christ and what freedom can truly look like. The unconditional love they show to those they reach out to and rescue from human trafficking is a dangerous love; a love that extends to places most of us aren’t willing to go. This is why we at Life Center Church support The Jonah Project, because God calls us to partner together to reach those who need rescuing and above all need Jesus. The Jonah Project doesn’t just preach the gospel, they live it out boldly, and who wouldn’t want to be a part of that? We are excited about what God is doing through The Jonah Project and excited about our partnership with them."

"The Jonah Project is a cause near and dear to my heart. Sex trafficking is a huge issue in Spokane, and the Jonah Project is the only agency in Spokane really making a dent in doing something about it. I’ve worked for them, volunteered for them, made lifelong friends with them, and let me tell you- the Jonah Project is the real deal. 
Perhaps the most compelling part of the Jonah Project is the team's emphasis on relationship. They don't consider the survivors as a number or a program participant. They treat this person like a real human being as they walk with them through life. I've witnessed first-hand the joy and freedom they've brought to people as they provide someone's first birthday party ever, or finally break through to a kid that they are loved, or valuable just the way they are. It's a beautiful scene to witness, and exactly the kind of work they do day in and day out. This is the kind of work they intend to expand on as they build an underground railroad to bring light and freedom to human beings across the country.  The Jonah Project is the kind of organization that makes me proud to be a Spokanite. The work they do is so important and unique, done so efficiently and with such a pure heart that I can only imagine the places it will go over the coming years."

"The Jonah Project is making a difference in our community on a critical issue: human trafficking. What they do changes lives. I'm thankful for their work, and honored to recommend them to local schools and churches. Effective action to combat human trafficking requires passion, long-term commitment, accurate information and practical education. The Jonah Project brings all of these and more to their work of combating the scourge of human trafficking. Now it’s time for the rest of us to get involved."

"One of the things I find every student needs is as many caring adults in their lives as possible. Often times though in the school system there are many students who do not have access to caring adults. The Jonah Project has helped to meet this need for many students at Rogers High School. In my time there I watched as Jonah leaders brought individualized support to students. If a need of a student had to be met, the Project was there to do it. For one student it was a pair of cleats, for another it was paying to have the water in their house turned back on, and yet for another student it was emotional support that stopped a suicide attempt. Jonah meets the student where they are at, as an individual that needs love and support.  This individualized care and support is what sets Jonah apart from other non profits when it comes to changing the lives of students in Spokane. I think Aaron Tilbury of the Jonah Project summarized the goals of the organization best when he said "Man, we are just here to love and support these kids through whatever happens."

"It has been a pleasure partnering with Jonah Project. We have had some clients who've completed inpatient utilize their services and continue to work with us at an outpatient level.  They are a huge asset to these client's success. Advocates from the Jonah Project have driven young people to/from counseling and group therapies as well as attended family events with them.  They are involved and supportive in the client's recovery and needs. We hope to continue to work with the Jonah Project in the future."

"The Jonah Project is an organization that has provided me with various resources. The Jonah Project has donated many things to me when I was in a time of struggle. For example, clothing, hygiene products, and food to name a few. Furthermore, JP has great advocates that have helped me with my needs. From getting me to appointments to providing mentorship, advocates have always been there for me. A time that sticks out to me was when an advocate helped me with my financial aid for college. Another time would be when an advocate took me to get a replacement of my social security card. Or when an advocate took me to my counselor’s appointment. Advocates also act as mentors. For me there is a specific advocate that makes sure I have everything I need. She is constantly checking in with me and providing emotional support. Having a caring, positive influence does make the difference. The Jonah Project is a special organization that has a lot to offer people in need. There is so much good that has been and will be done by the Jonah Project and I can testify to that."
