2025 Operations Update

In the first three months of 2025, Covenant Rescue Group partnered with law enforcement to combat child exploitation and human trafficking across Alabama. These efforts led to 26 arrests, with charges including human trafficking, child solicitation, and traveling to meet a minor for illegal activities. Working alongside agencies in Huntsville, Opelika, and Morgan County, we remain steadfast in our mission to protect the vulnerable and bring offenders to justice.

Covenant Rescue Group has been committed to enhancing law enforcement’s ability to combat human trafficking and child exploitation through specialized training. Over the last few months, we hosted a 40-hour S.T.O.P. training class for the Huntsville Police Department and have hosted 3 other STOP trainings for other agencies. In total, we have trained over 100 officers so far this year, equipping them with the skills needed to identify, intervene, and stop trafficking and child exploitation effectively.

Letter from our CEO

Dear Supporters,

As we move through 2025, I want to take a moment to reflect on everything we have accomplished together and look ahead to the impact we will continue to make in the fight against human trafficking and child exploitation.

The end of 2024 was a powerful testament to what we can achieve with your support. Our annual golf tournament in November raised $100,000, and the benefit dinner hosted by Vulcan Performance brought in another $50,000, providing critical resources for our mission. Because of this generosity, we have already been able to take decisive action in 2025.

In just the first quarter of this year, Covenant Rescue Group has worked alongside law enforcement in multiple operations across Alabama, resulting in the arrests of 26 child predators and traffickers. We have also seen an overwhelming response to our training initiatives, with agencies across the nation requesting support. Much of this momentum was fueled by my appearance on The Shawn Ryan Show in February, which brought awareness to the harsh realities of human trafficking and the urgent need for action.

Looking ahead, we are excited about the benefit dinner on April 24th at City Harbor in Guntersville, AL, and our annual golf tournament on November 10th at Greystone Country Club. These events are more than just fundraisers—they are opportunities to unite as a community against evil and equip us to do even more.

But as we expand our reach across the United States, the need for resources has never been greater. More law enforcement agencies are requesting our expertise and training so they can effectively protect their communities against trafficking and exploitation. None of this is possible without you — our supporters, donors, and partners in this fight.

I ask you to continue standing with us in 2025. Whether through financial support, spreading awareness, or joining us at our events, you are making a real difference in the lives of those trapped in darkness. Together, we will continue in this fight

THANK YOU for your unwavering support!

Jared Hudson
CEO, Covenant Rescue Group
