What We Do

Fields of Hope (formerly On Eagles Wings (OEW)) is a 501(c)(3) organization with a seventeen-year history of combating sexual exploitation and trafficking. We are dedicated to providing hope, healing and empowerment for survivors of sex trafficking while raising awareness and prevention.

Fields of Hope has national accreditation with the National Trafficking Sheltered Alliance (NTSA) and the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA). We have provided hope and healing for over 750 trafficked individuals while creating awareness and working diligently to prevent vulnerable youth from falling victim to sex trafficking.

This is accomplished through four key programs, Homes of Hope, Journey of Hope, Life of Hope and Youth for Hope:

  • Homes of Hope: At the heart of our approach is providing young female survivors of sex trafficking, ages 18-24, safe housing for stabilization, therapy for the healing process, and residential facilities for transitioning into society.
  • Journey of Hope: A work empowerment program for survivors to learn essential life and job skills. Participants engage in a curriculum designed to develop their skills and nurture interests. Survivors learn how to create custom merchandise such as candles, soaps, lotions, artwork and jewelry. Proceeds from product sales provide payment to participants for their internships. 
  • Life of Hope: This final phase of the survivor program assists residents to take steps towards integrating sustainably and successfully into society with a confident hope for the future.  Ongoing mentor support and appropriate resources are provided to our graduates as we continue to invest and guide them on a continued trajectory of a sustainable and successful life of hope.
  • Youth for Hope: This initiative equips high school and college students to lead peer-to-peer human trafficking awareness and prevention clubs in their schools, churches, and community centers. Created by educators and specialists, the curriculum empowers students to raise awareness about human trafficking, educate their peers, and take action to prevent exploitation.  Youth for Hope chapters have expanded across several states, engaging over 15,000 teens and young adults, including education outreach to middle school students.
