New Beginnings Ministry

WHAT WE DO

New Beginnings Outreach, a.k.a. Safe Harbor, is a non-profit organization that has been committed to meeting the practical needs of communities around the world since 2006. In the last several years, we have joined in the fight against Sex Trafficking and focus much of our efforts on bringing awareness about this form of modern day slavery to our community. The team works with Law Enforcement, Medical Professionals and Service Providers to help link survivors with much needed resources and services. In addition, New Beginnings Outreach is working towards opening a transitional home in Solano County for survivors of Sex Trafficking to offer women ages 18 and older a place to live for up to 24 months. New Beginnings House will not only provide a safe place for women to heal from emotional, physical and psychological trauma, but will also offer holistic services to empower and lead women towards self-sufficiency and positive community involvement.

WHAT WE DO

Our Story

The journey began in 1991 when New Beginnings Founder and Director, Irvina Edwards, moved with her husband Jessie to Belgium on military assignment with the United States Air Force. Finding residence in a small local community, the couple was immersed in European culture and soon discovered the reality of a rapidly growing violent crime against women and children. Right down the street from where the Edwards family lived was a thriving business where prostitution was openly marketed in the window of their quaint little town. As Irvina took her daily walk into town, she passed by the corner store where women stood in the window scantily dressed waiting for the next customer to enter the establishment. Irvina remembers the reoccurring heart break as she would inch closer to the store to look upon a human being whose sense of self worth was completely non-existent. If the woman could gather enough strength to lift her head of shame and make eye contact, Irvina recalls the look of hopelessness and despair. Irvina could do nothing but cry and pray.

OUR STORY

DID YOU KNOW?

Human Sex Trafficking is the most prevalent form of modern day slavery? Due to its low costs and huge returns, human trafficking has become one of the most profitable illicit industries in the world. The U.S. State Department estimates the revenue generated to be in excess of $32 billion per year, more than Nike, Starbucks and Google combined. It has become prevalent in all 50 states threatening sound economic development and negatively impacting the functioning of the legitimate business sector.
