Montgomery County officials in Ohio have reached a settlement in their legal dispute with Gracehaven, a Christian ministry focused on foster care services. The disagreement arose when county officials demanded that the organization hire individuals who did not share their Christian faith as a condition for maintaining their business relationship. Alliance Defending Freedom, which provided legal representation for the ministry, stated that “The government can’t deny public benefits to a ministry that is caring for young survivors of sex trafficking solely because of its religious character.” The organization specifically works with young people who have survived sex trafficking.
