About Us
Irons Sharpens Iron Umbrellas the following programs SWAG, BDCR, and Partners with Impact, Senda De Vida, and Stewpot's Billy Brumfield Shelter to Rescue, Restore and Relocate Survivors Of Human trafficking
Our Projects
The Core Ministry
​
Our organization is grounded in faith and committed to putting an end to the exploitation, sale, and enslavement of men, women, and children. Through our rescue, relocation, and restoration efforts, we provide survivors with housing, resources, education, and training that help to restore their sense of identity and equip them for a brighter future. Our ultimate goal is to join forces with law enforcement, business, government, education, medical, media/arts, non-profit, and faith communities (among others) to fight against human trafficking and to support survivors in their journey toward recovery.
As an organization, we offer a safe haven and a fresh start to those who have been impacted by human trafficking. Through our work, we aim to raise public awareness and inspire others to get involved in the fight to end this modern form of slavery. We believe that by looking beneath the surface and actively seeking out solutions, we can make a difference in the lives of survivors and bring an end to human trafficking both locally and abroad.
Partnership with Pentecostal Church Of God
Iron Sharpens Iron is dedicated to providing support to The Mississippi District Youth Ministry, which is under the leadership of Rev. Nikki Young, a frequent attendee of Trinity Gospel Fellowship and the COO of our organization. Our commitment is demonstrated through the Impact Summer Camp, which serves as a seed of transformation for its participants.
For many of these young people, the Impact Summer Camp is their first encounter with God. The experience is so impactful that 98% of the participants return the following year, eager to continue their spiritual journey. The positive effects of the camp are clear, as evidenced by the lives of those who return, having been transformed by the experience.
Over the years, this summer camp has had a significant impact on the lives of thousands of young people, some of whom have become leaders in their churches. We are proud to support this important work and look forward to continuing to make a positive difference in the lives of young people through our partnership with The Mississippi District Youth Ministry.
Our Peer to Peer Program
The mission of SWAG is to offer hope to individuals in our society who are lost, troubled, addicted, and hurting, by sharing the message of Jesus Christ. Having experienced similar struggles ourselves, we understand the pain and hardship these individuals are going through. To help them, we offer classes and one-on-one or group counseling that teaches practical skills to deal with the challenges of daily life.
Our primary goal is to lead individuals to Christ and to help them find hope, peace, and strength in Him. Through worship and praise, we encourage individuals to trust in God and His plan for their lives, even in the midst of their trials. Our ministry is dedicated to leading people out of the life they once knew and into the life that Christ has called them to live.
At SWAG, we do not aim to save people, but rather to point them towards the one who does - Jesus Christ. Our name, Saved With Amazing Grace (S.W.A.G.), reflects the truth of God's grace and love for each person. As stated in Jeremiah 29:11, we believe that God has plans to prosper and not harm us, to give us hope and a future.
Our Peer-to-Peer and Development Program
Iron Sharpens Iron and Beautiful Deliverance Ministries led by Lisa Kapp, have joined forces to create Beautiful Deliverance CR, with the purpose to help participants discover God's healing power in their lives through the eight recovery principles found in the beatitudes and the Christ-centered 12 steps. By working through the steps and applying biblical principles, participants experience spiritual growth.
The Beautiful Deliverance CR program is also a training ground for new leaders to develop their skills in leading other groups. The program provides a supportive and empowering environment where participants can build on their personal experiences to help others find freedom and healing in Christ.
​
Through this collaboration, Iron Sharpens Iron and Beautiful Deliverance Ministries are dedicated to providing a pathway to spiritual and emotional healing for individuals who are struggling with addiction and other life-controlling issues. We are committed to helping individuals experience transformational change that leads to a life of freedom, purpose, and joy.

Together, we work to provide critical support and assistance to those who have been impacted by human trafficking. Our partnership enables us to provide resources, advocacy, and a safe space for survivors to begin the healing process. By working together, we can make a positive difference in the lives of those who have experienced the trauma of human trafficking.
Senda de Vida, remain committed to our mission of demonstrating the love of Christ and serving those in need, including survivors of human trafficking. We are grateful for the partnership of Iron Sharpens Iron and Pastor Hector Silva in this important work.
Rescue Operations
We are highly trained and dedicated individuals who work tirelessly to rescue survivors of human trafficking. This team comprises professionals from various backgrounds, including law enforcement, social work, and healthcare.
Their primary focus is locating and extracting survivors from dangerous situations, often coordinating with local law enforcement agencies. They also provide medical and psychological support to survivors during and after the rescue operation, ensuring that they receive the care and assistance they need to begin the process of recovery.
​
The rescue team is trained to work in high-pressure situations and to respond quickly and effectively to emergencies. They possess specialized skills and knowledge that enable them to navigate complex and dangerous environments, and they always prioritize the safety and well-being of survivors.
​
Beyond their rescue operations, the team also works to raise awareness about human trafficking and to promote education and prevention efforts in their communities. They are passionate about their mission to end human trafficking and are committed to doing everything they can to rescue and support survivors.
