Weekend to End Human Trafficking: Awareness, Action, and Advocacy in Cypress
Join us for a powerful weekend conference dedicated to exposing the realities of human trafficking right here in our own community of Cypress. Hosted in partnership with Elijah Rising, this three-day event will inform, equip, and empower you to make a difference.
Friday Night: Van Tour of Cypress (6:30 PM – 8:30 PM)
Start the weekend with an eye-opening driving tour through Cypress led by local advocates. You’ll learn how human trafficking is operating in our area — in ways often hidden in plain sight — and gain insight into the signs, systems, and spaces where exploitation occurs.
Saturday: Serve and Learn (10:00 AM – 2:00 PM)
Spend the day building care packages for women currently being exploited and learn tangible ways you can engage in the fight against trafficking. Guest speakers will share actionable steps to advocate for victims and support local anti-trafficking efforts.
Sunday: Survivor Stories Lunch with Elijah Rising (12:30 PM – 2:00 PM)
After Sunday service, join us for a hosted lunch featuring Elijah Rising, a Houston-based nonprofit dedicated to ending sex trafficking. Hear powerful testimonies from survivors and learn how their stories of redemption are shaping the fight for freedom.
Let’s come together as a community to learn, serve, and take a stand.

What to Expect on Extreme Teams
Physical Challenges
The villages where we trek are unreached for a reason. Their locations are accessible only by foot, making it difficult and time-consuming to reach. Each day your strength and stamina will be tested as you hike some of the world’s most challenging mountain ranges with your food, clothing, and camping gear on your back.
Spiritual Growth
This trip isn’t just about hiking; it’s about taking the message of Christ to people who have never had the opportunity to hear and respond to it. Daily you’ll be reliant on the Holy Spirit and experience spiritual growth like never before as you travel from village to village to evangelize the lost.
Team Bonding
Nothing unites believers quite like a short-term mission trip, especially when you’re reliant on each other for spiritual and physical encouragement. Mornings on the trail start with team devotionals, prayer, and briefings. Evenings are spent sharing stories from your day of ministry.
Gospel Impact
You’ll witness God use you to seek and save the lost throughout the week, but the work doesn’t end when your team leaves. East-West’s network of national partners follow up with new believers, disciple them, and start churches in these previously unreached areas.
Adventure
Daily you will be overwhelmed by the beauty of God’s creation and the opportunity to explore it with your team of Americans and national partners off of the typical tourist trail. The sights and sounds of the landscape and the opportunity to immerse yourself in a new culture is an adventure of a lifetime.
