Today we had such a beautiful time with an amazing group of ladies from St. Luke's Lutheran Church! It was a blessing to share the work that Love Missions Global is doing, both in our community and around the world. These wonderful women not only brought donations, but also enjoyed shopping in the boutique, supporting the ministry in 2 incredible ways.

We are truly grateful for those who bring groups like these, making what we do possible. Together, we are creating ripples of hope, lifting each other up, and walking in love. Thank you for being part of our journey!

🚨Things you need to know

An Updated 2024: A ⁠new report from Thorn and NCMEC ( National Center For Missing and Exploited Children )released in June 2024, Trends in Financial Sextortion: An Investigation of Sextortion Reports in NCMEC CyberTipline Data, analyzed more than 15 million sextortion reports to NCMEC between 2020 and 2023. The report found:

Cash App (25.7%) is the #1 payment method mentioned in sextortion reports, followed by PayPal (17.8%), and Venmo (9.4%).

Mapped over time, Cash App has increased slowly as the dominant payment methods in sextortion reports relative to all other payment apps.

Despite being the most commonly mentioned payment platform in sextortion reports examined in this study, there were no electronic service provider (ESP) reports of sextortion from Cash App (Block Inc.) to NCMEC in this analysis, while competitor PayPal Inc. (which includes both Venmo and PayPal) did make sextortion reports.

Cash App’s very design appeals to bad actors. The anonymity, quick transfer capabilities, and lack of meaningful age and identity verification allow illegal transactions to fester. In fact, a former Cash App employee quipped: Every criminal has a Square cash app account.” 

For example, in 2021, the senior director at Polaris, the anti-trafficking non-profit responsible for the U.S. trafficking hotline said, “…when it comes to sex trafficking in the U.S., by far the most commonly referenced platform is Cash App…It is probably the most frequently referenced financial brand in the hotline data.”

UNTIL Cash App is no longer crawling with criminals, take caution with this platform!

Here is how you can take action. Sign the petition to require Cash app to put protective measures in place for our children.
**And no matter what app your children have, monitor your (child)rens phones.

Sign petition here to require Cash app to place monitors on their platform to protect our children.

Love Missions Global, led by President Tina Kadolph, was honored to take part in the "Shields Up Seminar", an initiative focused on safeguarding children in the digital space. The seminar attracted many key organizations, including MBI, Central Florida Task Force, National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, One More Child, Paving the Way, and the Catholic Diocese Alliance to End Human Trafficking.

Tina was honored to share her story along with another lived experienced expert Olivia.

In addition to critical discussions on child safety, Love Missions Global received 12 fully packed backpacks for survivors, a vital resource in supporting those coming out of exploitation.

The event saw a strong turnout, with parents and students asking important questions, eager to learn more about protecting their loved ones online.

At Love Missions Global, the commitment to ensuring every child is safe and free continues. Together with those we partner with, we are dedicated to this cause until all are protected and free.
