Hear from Our Directors…
“Almost 20 years ago I was called on mission across the world & my heart was shattered as I saw young girls & boys being sold as sex slaves. Each time I would come back home to the US and share what I was seeing the Lord opened my eyes to what is also happening right here in the United States. We are working both within the US & outside the US to fight this fastest growing crime! Once we see, we can’t un see, once we know, we can’t un know…. We each need to do our part in this fight against human trafficking. #pleasegetinthefight! Ephesians 3:20” - Amy Jo Pernie, Executive Director
“I believe dancing with Jesus can shift the atmosphere in the room or even move mountains across the world. Why would I not want to be a part of that? I dance with Chaddah because I believe we are called to take a stand, be bold, and call out this darkness that the enemy thinks he has control over. We stand in victory knowing that if we give Jesus our “yes,” He will do the rest!” - Chesney, Director and 16-year Company Dancer
“The Lord has softened my heart and opened my eyes to so much through Chaddah and Encounters of Hope. Working to end human trafficking is something I am humbled and grateful to be called to. I can't imagine anything more worth fighting for or more worthy of my time.” - Christina, Director and 27-year Company Dancer
“I feel so blessed and honored to be the voice of the voiceless, the movement to the chained, and the hope to the broken. It is a privilege that I get to dance and be a part of this company that gives awareness to a situation that isn’t so much in the public spotlight. I love being an advocate for those people that can’t be one for themselves. Speaking and dancing their stories breaks the hesitation of many to speak or hear about this travesty. I love being a warrior for those that can’t fight for themselves.” - Haley, Director and 16-year Company Dancer
