Magdalene Hope began in April of 2009 out of a desire to minister to the ladies working in the commercial sex industry in Bakersfield, California. Since then we have seen thousands of lives transformed by the Love of Christ. We find joy and freedom from a personal relationship with Jesus, partnering with Him by serving His children.When we began, we had dreams of expanding to other cities, helping to end modern day slavery. We have ministered in Bakersfield, Las Vegas, Tijuana, Mexico, Detroit, Michigan and the Central Coast of California.In October 2013, we opened Restoration Ranch, a safe house for women that wanted out of the industry. We were able to offer a safe place, Biblical counsel, case management, Bible studies, counseling, and education. Many women went through our safe shelter. Four women finished our one year program, and also graduated with their degrees. Three of the women graduated from Summit Bible College and one from Dental Hygienist School.In 2017 we launched Rescue Grounds Coffee Company and are now able to employ women that we have assisted out of sex trafficking. We have acquired a coffee truck and we are about to launch at a permanent location soon.In February 2025, we opened Bakersfield's first Women’s shopping center called the Bakersfield Women’s Center. We offer hot meals, a boutique, professional counseling and a safe place for women to come in and rest and charge their phone. All of the services at Bakersfield Women’s Center are completely free of charge to our guests.We are thankful to all who have supported the ministry of Magdalene Hope and partnered with us through your time, talents and treasures. We are a registered Faith base 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All donations are tax-deductible and are greatly appreciated.We continue to fight for freedom daily. We are beyond grateful for the blessings God has given us. We continue to dream of life without slavery for these ladies and are excited to see where God leads us in the future.
