Our story begins with...

Mama Mary

Mama Mary, a domestic worker from Kenya, came to the Middle East with a deep love for Jesus and a commitment to obeying His call. Witnessing the suffering and injustice faced by young African women in similar circumstances, she dedicated herself to helping hundreds of imprisoned women in the Middle East. Mama Mary played a crucial role in processing their release, providing for their needs, visiting them during their incarceration, and securing plane tickets for their return to their home countries.

Then along came...

Melissa

Seeing Mama Mary's compassionate heart led Melissa to start visiting local detention centers alongside Mama Mary. Together, their passion for supporting those feeling alone and trapped in a foreign country started Set Captives Free, bringing hope and encouragement to those in need.

Melissa took leadership of Set Captives free when Mary returned to Kenya. Since then, we continue to visit women in prison, support them with legal advocacy, help them buy plane tickets home, and collect items to distribute to the women after their release.
