The Story of ISA

Fight for Freedom

International Saints & Abolitionists (ISA) was born out of a deep conviction that no one should live in slavery. What began as a simple “yes” to God’s call has grown into a mission dedicated to freedom from sex trafficking through prevention.

ISA’s founders saw firsthand the devastating reality of human trafficking, both abroad and in their own community. Burdened by the stories of exploitation and injustice, they could not remain silent. With prayer, persistence, and a vision for freedom, ISA was launched as a faith-driven nonprofit committed to raising awareness, equipping communities, and protecting the vulnerable.

From its earliest days, ISA has worked hand in hand with churches, schools, and local partners to shine light into the darkest places. What started small, with a handful of volunteers and advocates willing to stand up, has grown into an international movement fueled by compassion, courage, and the conviction that freedom is a human right.

Today, ISA continues with the same heart that inspired its beginning: to fight for freedom through prevention and to press on until all are free.
