tickets

Join us for a memorable evening that will include a seated dinner program, live entertainment, powerful stories, and a chance to learn how YOU can partner with Treasures to help reach and restore hope to victims of sexual exploitation and trafficking.

The gala is our only fundraising event each year and is vital to our ability to continue serving over 5,000 women annually and training other leaders around the globe to do the same.

Here is one of many similar messages Treasures receives weekly:

“It has taken me two DUIs leaving the same strip club to realize this industry is not an authentic expression of who I am, and is harmful to my health. Thank you for creating a resource to help girls make their graceful exit. Love, Chloe”  (Name changed to protect confidentiality)

 It is because of generous supporters like you that we can care for women like Chloe.

We look forward to sharing more with you at our annual gala!

Registration & Cocktail Hour begins at 6pm
Dinner and Program begins at 7pm

March 18 -19 ~ Sex Industry Outreach & Care Training

Posted on by

The global strip club annual revenue generates more than $75 billion dollars each year. Research says that 89% of the women in the sex industry said they wanted to escape, but had no other means of survival. The need for outreaches around the world is GROWING. If you know someone who has a passion for reaching the women in the industry where there are no current outreaches, we have a National Treasures training in March which will equip leaders to start outreaches in their local communities.

January 24 – Justice Matters Sunday

Justice Matters Sunday

“For I, the Lord, Love Justice.” Isaiah 61:8

For our Justice Conference (JM5) this year, we will be partnering with our Riverside County Anti Human Trafficking Task Force and doing a Justice Matters Sunday on Jan. 24th, at Calvary Murrieta. The Task Force will be reaching out at various locations throughout the county to create awareness and provide education on how to identify and protect victims of this horrible crime. We desire to help create awareness in our church, as well as the community, and help mobilize the body of Christ in the fight against Human Trafficking. When Mary was criticized for anointing the feet of Jesus with oil, He commended her by saying,” “She did what she could do” (Mark 14:8). We don’t have to do everything, but we can all do something!

Our service times are 7:30 am, 9:30 am, and 11:30 am. All three services will have the same speakers and will be sharing on this topic. During second and third service, we will be offering various workshops, along with Sunday school for your children so you can attend them without distraction. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for you to attend a service and then attend one or two sessions of workshops. Lunch will be provided at no cost. Our gym will also be full of organizations that work both domestically and abroad to help further your education, answer questions, and offer opportunities for you to get involved.

Please invite your friends, family, and neighbors and join us on Sunday, January 24th. Please contact us for more information at[email protected] or call 951-677-5667 for more information.
