Relive the Night & See Your Photos!

 

On September 18, we gathered at Hotel ZaZa to celebrate ten years of The Landing. It was a beautiful night, but what we will remember most are the voices of suvivors.

 

Tayosha stood in front of us and shared her story. She was honest and courageous, reminding us why this work matters. Her story wasn’t about a perfect journey. It was about taking the next step. And then the next one.

 

For ten years, The Landing has been Houston’s trusted front door for survivors of human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation. A place to find connection, begin healing, and start imagining a future that once may not have felt possible. That's worth celebrating.

 

But Renewed was also a reminder that our work isn’t finished. We are stepping into The Next 10 with a growing need and a deep sense of responsibility for what God has entrusted to us.

 

Tayosha reminded us that a different future can begin with one safe place, one trusted relationship, and one person willing to walk alongside you. We want to be that place for the next Tayosha. And the next one.

 

God has been faithful to The Landing for ten years. We have no doubt He is still writing this story.

 

Thank you for being part of it.
