Collin and Danielle Barnes are a Trinity love story that felt a clear call from God to make a difference in the world of human trafficking. In 2021 they started a non-profit dedicated to helping women in Uganda who have been abused, partnering with those in the local community overseas.  Today, the Phoenix Phase Initiative continues to raise funds so that these women can escape a life of trafficking, be restored into society and provide for their family. If you would like to get more involved, or to support their annual Run For Her Life 5k and Half Marathon in Newton, IA this May, be sure to visit their website at https://phoenixphaseinitiative.org/.
