“I have had the privilege of working along side John Cassells for ten years. John has been on the front lines fighting for our youth and the sexually exploited continuously for decades. For me, as someone who suffered the dark world of exploitation, having a man’s voice speak to this issue is huge; to have a man stand up and fight this fight with us is a major success! The mentoring and coaching Lifeworthy offers is so valuable. I look forward to the work we will continue to do together.”
Katarina MacLeod, Executive Director, Rising Angels Awareness & Restorative Care
“I’ve so appreciated how you speak and teach — acknowledging how deep and difficult the realities of sexual exploitation are, but at the same time speaking with a grace and approachability that empowers us to continue to lean in. Thank you for helping our church to step into more awareness and involvement.”
Tony Sammut, Pastor, The Well Community Church, Vaughan, ON
