Legal Structure

Executive Director: Carey O'Hara - With over 15 years of experience in trauma counseling and ministry, she brings a deep compassion forged through her own journey of personal trauma and healing. She truly understands what it means to face pain and emerge with renewed hope and purpose.

As a biblical counselor and ministry leader, she accompanies individuals and communities navigating grief, addiction, identity struggles, and spiritual battles. She is also intimately familiar with the challenges of leadership—both within ministry and the marketplace—and the vital importance of remaining anchored in God's vision while nurturing oneself and others.

Driven by a passion to create safe, healing spaces, she fosters environments where people feel seen, valued, and reminded that no story is too broken, and no pain wasted in God's hands. Her mission is to guide others toward healing and to empower them to rise as leaders in God's Kingdom, wherever their calling leads.

With 14 years of service as a U.S. Marine, she has learned that true leadership is forged not in comfort, but in the trenches of hardship, healing, and purpose. Her own journey through trauma, military service, and spiritual battles has shaped her heart for outreach and fueled her passion to walk alongside others as they discover their God-given identity.

Market Analysis

Primary Audience: People that have been effective by human trafficking, particularly those seeking to integrate faith into their recovery journey.

Secondary Audience: Churches, local communities, law enforcement, and organizations that partner in the fight against human trafficking and exploitation; support victims as well as redeem the victimizer.

Target Demographics

While there are several organizations addressing trafficking and exploitation, few offer trauma-informed care through a Christian, Christ-centered lens, combining spiritual healing with practical support services. Individuals, as well as those involved in human trafficking and exploitation who seek faith-based support, may have limited access to services that integrate emotional healing with spiritual restoration.

Current Gaps in Services

Other organizations may provide emergency shelter, therapy, or legal support but often lack the integration of Christian principles. Into the Jordan Ministries will fill the gap by offering a holistic, Christ-centered approach to healing.
