A new church in Broad Ripple gave $11,000 to Julian Center to aid local victims of human trafficking. Lead Pastor of Radiate Church, Justin Bender, gave the check to Tracy McDaniel, Care Coordinator for the Julian Center, during service Sunday morning January 19th, 2014.

Members of Radiate Church pledged to give their support on Nov 17th, after Tracy McDaniel shared the current reality of human trafficking in Indianapolis. She receives federal funding for foreign victims but no funding for domestic victims.

Members of Radiate pledged to give to aid domestic victims. It was a Special Christmas Gift.

Heartland Church also gave a significant matching gift to Radiate Church, also participating in the Special Christmas Gift.

Radiate Church is a new church in Indianapolis. The church had their first service February 10th, 2012 and currently meets in the cafeteria at Broad Ripple Magnet High School, 1115 Broad Ripple Avenue [H9 on map], on Sunday mornings at 11am. Justin Bender is the Lead Pastor.

Since pledging to the Christmas Gift, members of Radiate have also donated items in need and volunteered their time at The Julian Center.
