About Our Ministry
Rescued Redeemed Transformed Ministries was founded out of a deep conviction that rescue is important, but rescue is not the end of the story.
There is often a gap between being removed from a crisis and learning how to live healed, whole, and free. Individuals coming out of human trafficking, exploitation, domestic violence, abuse, addiction, and complex trauma may receive immediate help, yet still carry the wounds of what they experienced for years.
RRT exists to help bridge that gap.
We walk alongside individuals through one-on-one mentorship, small groups, biblical discipleship, inner healing, practical support, and healthy community. Our focus is not simply on what someone has come out of, but on helping them heal, discover their God-given identity, rebuild their lives, and grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ.
Bridging the Gap in the Church
We believe the Church has an important role in long-term restoration. Many churches have compassionate people who want to help those affected by trauma and exploitation but may not know how to walk with them through the healing process.
RRT helps equip churches and leaders through training, mentorship, and discipleship so they can become part of that restoration journey.
We believe healing happens through relationship:
Relationship builds trust.
Trust creates space for healing.
Healing produces growth.
Growth leads toward healthy independence.
And healed people help build healed communities.
Our Story
RRT was founded by Valerie Carter out of both personal experience and decades of witnessing the devastating effects of trafficking, abuse, addiction, exploitation, and trauma on individuals and families.
Growing up in Oakland, California, Valerie was exposed firsthand to many of these realities. Her own experiences, along with years of walking alongside people in crisis, developed into a lifelong calling to help the brokenhearted move beyond crisis and rescue into healing, freedom, and lasting restoration.
Today, RRT walks alongside individuals while also equipping churches and communities to become places where the brokenhearted can find relationship, discipleship, healing, belonging, and hope.
We don't just want to see people rescued. We want to see lives restored and the Church equipped to walk with them.
Rescued. Redeemed. Transformed.

Behind The Logo
There are five elements to our logo and each one represents a different aspect of the ministry's mission.
The Chains represent breaking the bondage of sex slavery and trauma, it represents the mission to free, educate, equip, and heal others from the effects and traumas that human trafficking causes.
Psalms 107:14
The Wings represent an angelic encounter that Valerie and her sister shared together, where the mandate to set the captives free was assigned.
Isaiah 61:1
The Bell represents what our founding fathers stood for; life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Freedom.
2 Corinthians 3:17
The Diamonds represent God bringing His people out of bondage and into a place of freedom, restoration, and abundance. Psalm 68:6 declares that God brings out those who are bound. Throughout Scripture, God’s desire for His people includes shalom — שָׁלוֹם (shālôm, Strong’s H7965) — meaning peace, completeness, welfare, safety, soundness, and well-being.
Psalms 68:6
The Cross represents the sacrifice Jesus made for us. He was obedient to death on the cross so that we would have liberty and perfect peace, Shalom, Shalom, and that we would share His love with others.
Isaiah 53:5
