January Missions of the Month
Campaign Against Human Trafficking (CAHT)
The Campaign Against Human Trafficking – Southshore (CAHT) has been active in the south shore since 2009. Throughout the years, United Methodist Church has been an active supporter and partner in our efforts to end human trafficking.
Here in the south shore of Hillsborough County we have challenges with both labor and sex trafficking. Our County Sherif's office and the Hillsborough County Human Trafficking Task Force work hard to identify and eliminate the threats to our community.
CAHT continues with our commitment to supporting victims, celebrating survivors, reducing demand, and ending human trafficking.
This year we have several goals:
· Continue to support our victims and survivors with the rescue backpack and mentoring programs
· Recruit volunteers to support our programs
· Expand our Trafficking Free Zone community awareness program
· Begin outreach to men’s organizations
· Begin a Survivor Scholarship fund to assist survivors as they complete their program and begin their new life
· Explore the possibility of creating the first safe home/shelter program for human trafficking victims in this area
We invite you to join our organization and support the cause of eliminating human trafficking.
Thanks so much to all of you for supporting our efforts over the years. With God’s Blessings, we look forward to a continuing partnership.
We are a passionate congregation about reaching out in our local community as well as across the world with the love of Jesus Christ. We try to include an element of Missions in almost everything we do. We love traveling to places such as Africa, Peru, Cuba and many more as well as helping local missions such as the Fight Against Human Trafficking, Good Samaritan Mission, our UMC Children's Home and many more. Please consider getting involved in making a difference.

Thank you for your interest in becoming a Mission of the Month at the United Methodist Church of Sun City Center. As the Mission team, we are excited to learn more about your mission.
We receive many requests to become part of this program. We prayerfully read all applications with special consideration given to missions whose program is dedicated to making disciples of Jesus Christ and show a proven history of successful ministry. All missions accepted as Mission of the Month must support the mission and vision of the United Methodist Church of Sun City Center. Because we currently have many applications, not every mission that applies will be accepted this year.
We will closely study the goals of your mission, the actual percentage of your proposed budget that directly supports the slated mission, and your plans for documentation and ongoing evaluation and accountability. Should we support your mission, we will ask for a follow up at the end of the year, stating how the funds that you received were used.
Please complete the enclosed application and return it to:
