OUR MISSION STATEMENT
At Change A Destiny, we envision a world where all children from all nations are free, healthy, and prosperous! We are committed to ending the slavery of children, both sexual and labor, through comprehensive prevention, rescue, and rehabilitation initiatives.
Our Approach
We are dedicated to eradicating extreme poverty in regions where it tragically leads to child trafficking. These regions are so destitute, that many villagers die from malnutrition or dirty water. Families often sell one or two children to deceptive traffickers, in order to afford clean water, food, and mediocre opportunity for the rest of the family. That's where we come in.
Our amazing justice warriors, both local and global, help to prosper the poor, stop child trafficking, and train others to change destinies.
We have found that by focusing on one thing, and doing it well, we find success. Therefore, each leader and volunteer is given an initial mission. For example, one of our leaders, Kiettiyoh Hirunrat, runs an excellent children's home. He has rescued hundreds of poor, at-risk children for over a quarter of a century.
Once established, our work then takes on several more steps. Regional leaders are trained to prosper their local villages through well drilling, self-sustaining practices, education, and new careers to protect their children and to extend help and training to neighboring villages.
As an outcome, villages are transformed into "Victorious Villages!" With clean water, they are able to build fish farms, abundant gardens, churches and schools, so that everyone, especially the children, are well nourished and equipped for success.
It costs just $2,800 on average to turn a dying village into a Victorious Village!
Our Accomplishments
Over the years, we have accomplished many important milestones in our mission. A few of our biggest accomplishments are:
- We have developed over 300 associations in Thailand that actively rescue children from poverty and slavery and continue to prevent it.
- Our regional leader, Rin, has developed six "Mercy Villages" in Cambodia. These villages no longer starve or sell their children. Not only that, they also rescued their previously trafficked children, support neighboring villages, and continue to actively prevent trafficking by rescuing and rehabilitating victims.
- Our regional director, Chaitanya, oversees 400 villages in India. He has trained these villages, with his ministers, to lift them out of abject poverty and suppress child trafficking in their areas.
- Our partner, Raul, has faithfully lifted children out of poverty and prostitution in Nepal for a quarter of a century.

Judah Becker, the founder of Change a Destiny, has dedicated his life to fighting human trafficking and poverty, driven by his deep faith in Jesus Christ. His journey began in 1998 during a mission trip to Southeast Asia, where he encountered the heartbreaking reality of children being sold into slavery. It was then that he prayed, "God, not on my shift. Show me how to make a difference."
His calling became clear: to rescue children and uplift impoverished communities, all while sharing the love and hope of Christ.
For Judah, his work is more than just humanitarian aid; it is a direct reflection of Christ’s teachings. He believes that through faith and action, lives can be transformed. Change a Destiny operates on the principle that by helping the poor become self-sufficient and empowering local leaders, they can bring God’s light into some of the darkest corners of the world. Whether it’s building homes for rescued children or establishing entrepreneurial programs, Judah sees these efforts as extensions of The Great Commission, to bring freedom and restoration to all the nations.
Guided by Scripture, Judah and his team are committed to being the hands and feet of Jesus, showing compassion and love to the “least of these.” His faith fuels his passion to not only rescue children but to give them hope for a better future in Christ.

Justus Minardi plays a pivotal role in the fight against child trafficking. Deeply troubled by the cruelty and injustice in the world, especially the horrors of child trafficking, Justus sought clarity from Holy Spirit by spending time in the wilderness, seeking direction and guidance. This spiritual journey led him to heavy involvement in the mission alongside Judah, aligning his passion for justice with the ministry's work.
Justus has since become President of Change a Destiny and is dedicated and fired up into rallying as many people as possible in the fight against child trafficking, most recently through "pitch invading" the Paris Olympics Gold Medal soccer match.
His vision is inspired by his deep desire to see Christ's New Earth materialized, and he yearns for Abba’s ultimate kingdom to come and will to be done through the divine power of Holy Spirit. Justus’s work is a reflection of his painful desperation to see God’s justice reign on Earth, and he passionately contributes to advancing this mission through every righteous avenue possible.
