}}{{slavery}} RUN Ministries is a live rescue and church planting effort[1] founded in 1990 by Eric Watt and currently operates in Iraq, Nepal, and Central Asia. Specifically in Iraq, RUN rescues women who have been sold into sexual slavery, often purchasing their liberation. It is a registered 501(c)3 tax-deductible US charity, presenting itself as:
RUN helps build long-term sustainable enterprises (cottage crafts){{citation needed|date=November 2014}} that financially under-gird and stabilize the work being done among previously unreached or under-reached peoples in order "to bring hope and dignity to those whose lives have been ravaged by spiritual darkness, governmental and religious oppression, and economic poverty." It further evangelizes these liberated persons and hopes to organize them into nondenominational (underground) Christian churches.
The parent nonprofit has a partner relationship with Grassroots Action, Inc.,[2] a privately held for-profit Internet services company specializing in citizen-action services, including petitions, activism services, and resource development. See also
