OUR WHY
Recent data reveals an alarming 60 percent of teenage girls (double that of boys) are experiencing anxiety and hopelessness. Approximately 1 out of every 3 girls are contemplating suicide. That is staggering.
Our team is diverse. We are multi-generational, each with our own stories unified by a common thread. God will never leave or forsake you. You can overcome and rise to your true identity.
REBEL EVENTS
The Making of A Champion
Rebel Events provide a place for hundreds of young adults to encounter the life changing message of God's love and hear first-hand stories of triumph over adversity. We seek to infuse joy into each community we visit by reminding each person we encounter that he or she matters. We prioritize building meaningful partnerships with each local community, in effort to establish pathways for long-term, meaningful connection. We recognize authentic community as an antidote to the epidemic of anxiety, depression and despair. Even though this event is targeted at the next generation, everyone is welcome to attend. Our events are and always will be free to attend.
REFUGE CAMPUS
not our girls. not on our watch.
The reality is: vulnerable children in our neighborhoods and our state are falling through the cracks. Girls are being abused in plain sight yet we do not see. We must speak up for those who don’t have a voice.
According to data collected by Omaha Police Department, Missing Persons and Juvenile Trafficking Unit, 521 juvenile females were at risk of being trafficked for commercial sex in Douglas & Sarpy counties between February 2021–August 2021.
Making Lemon-Aid’s Refuge Initiative was born out of a passion and commitment to meet the immediate, real-time needs of vulnerable girls ages 12-18 in Douglas and Sarpy Counties who have been rescued from trafficking for commercial sex. The Refuge Home will serve as a sanctuary, offering crucial trauma-informed, faith-based support for healing. Our program stands as a pioneering effort in the state of Nebraska, providing a nurturing residential environment for overcomers with complex needs.
We are working in collaboration with local, regional and nationals child advocacy partners to implement a proven program for each girl to heal and become all God has made her to be. We are so excited to be part of what God is doing to set the captives free.
