Perspectives S34/Ep11: Minister works to end the scourge of human trafficking

Dr. E. Dewey Smith is a minister working to end the human trafficking in our community. He is pastor of the House of Hope in Atlanta and Macon. In 2013, Dr. Smith launched The Tabitha's House, a nonprofit organization that provides housing, counseling and support to young girls rescued from human trafficking. His congregation is one of the few churches in the nation that owns a resource center and two residences that house and empower victims of human trafficking. In addition, Smith opened the Haven House, a fully staffed, professional and licensed counseling center that addresses the emotional and mental health concerns of people in the community.
