FREE Community Movie Night

The Ring of Silence

Begin the weekend with a powerful showing of the award-winning film The Ring of Silence inspired by real events surrounding human trafficking.

This emotional and thought-provoking film exposes the realities of grooming, exploitation, and trafficking while reminding us that these crimes often happen in ordinary communities—not just in the headlines.

Following the movie, there will be an opportunity for discussion, questions, and access to additional resources.

The Digital Dilemma

Technology. Exploitation. Human Trafficking. Prevention.

Presented by Millstone Ministries

The way children are being targeted has changed—and so must the way we protect them.

Join us for an eye-opening, reality-based training that exposes the rapidly evolving tactics used by traffickers and online predators. Today's exploitation often begins with a smartphone, gaming platform, social media app, or AI-generated content long before it ever reaches the streets.

This comprehensive training combines **Digital Dilemma** with **Human Trafficking Awareness**, providing practical education for parents, educators, law enforcement, church leaders, counselors, social workers, foster and adoptive families, and anyone who works with or cares for children.

Topics Include:

* Human trafficking myths vs. reality
* How traffickers recruit and groom victims online
* Sextortion and financial exploitation
* AI-generated images and emerging technology risks
* Gaming platforms and hidden dangers
* Social media manipulation and online grooming
* The growing threat of organized online exploitation networks
* Recognizing vulnerabilities and warning signs
* How exploitation progresses from online contact to real-world victimization
* Practical prevention strategies for families, schools, churches, and organizations
* What to do if a child discloses exploitation or becomes a victim

This is not fear-based education—it is practical, current, and empowering information designed to help you recognize danger before it becomes tragedy.

Lunch will be provided for all registered attendees.

Training certificates will be available upon completion and may be used toward professional development requirements where applicable.

Whether you are a parent wanting to better protect your child, an educator responsible for student safety, or a professional working with vulnerable populations, this training will equip you with the knowledge and tools needed to navigate today's digital landscape.

Together, we can recognize the signs, interrupt exploitation, and protect our communities before victims are created.

Join us for an entire weekend dedicated to protecting children, strengthening families, and equipping our community with the knowledge to make a difference.
