Restore a Voice

Human trafficking is not just the latest fad issue on planet earth. It is the fastest growing crime in the world and is growing exponentially in the United States. It is not about "people on the other side of the world." It is happening here, in Austin, Cedar Park, Round Rock, Buda.....every city in central Texas. One group is squarely focused on serving the US citizens, our children, who are being victimized...Restore A Voice. Come hear the story from its beginnings in the aftermath of the massive earthquake in Haiti to its laser focus work in our city.


Larry MegasonSpeakers Bio: Larry has spent most of his adult life serving is pastoral roles in churches in Texas, Oklahoma, and Georgia. 

Most of his work has been mission driven. That, in part, is what led him to serve with organizations providing clean water solutions in Sierra Leon, West Africa, Pune, India, and Haiti. 

It was while in Haiti following the devastating earthquake of 2010, where Larry was first offered to purchase a human being, a seven-year-old girl, for $9. From that moment, Larry has been, and will remain, relentlessly focused on the rescue and aftercare of those being trafficked for sex and labor. That is why Restore A Voice was formed and serves as the tip of the spear in the collaborative effort to provide rescue and care for domestic victims of sex trafficking.” 




Featured Lunch Menu: Ribeye Steak with fresh asparagus and baked potatoes; mixed field green salad with assorted rolls and a featured daily dessert. Vegetarian meal or Grilled Chicken Caesar salad are available alternatives as well.
