Our Mission
Children Such as These is a faith-driven movement committed to protecting the most vulnerable among us - our children.
We exist to expose the truth, awaken hearts, and take action against the hidden horrors of child exploitation, trafficking, and abuse.
Through powerful storytelling, community outreach, survivor support, and a commitment to justice and healing, we are building a coalition of warriors dedicated to defending childhood — and restoring hope.
Our Vision
We envision a world where vulnerable, trafficked, and abused children are rescued, restored, and empowered to thrive in safety and dignity.
What We Do
Raise Awareness:
We educate the public through events, social media, and educational campaigns that shine a light on child trafficking and abuse in all its forms.Build Partnerships:
We work hand-in-hand with veterans, churches, schools, and survivor-led groups to defend and support at-risk children.Create Safe Spaces:
We're raising funds to build Sacred Horse Ranch — a faith-centered sanctuary for rescued children to heal through equine therapy, outdoor activities, and spiritual care.Lead the Charge:
Our Founder will embark on a cross-country trek - from California to Florida - to awaken the nation, raise awareness, and rally warriors to join this fight.Faith in Action:
Inspired by the words of Christ, we believe in protecting children with the same passion and love that He showed the most vulnerable.
Why It Matters
Every day in our country, children are being exploited, abused, and sold – very often, right in our communities. We will not look away! We will not stay silent! We will rise!
Join The Movement
This is more than a cause — it’s a calling.
Whether you donate, volunteer, pray, or share our message, your support helps Rescue, Protect, and Restore Lives.
“But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.”

Jeffrey Pimentel
Founder & CEO, Children Such as These
Retired Military Intelligence | Retired Law Enforcement Officer | Warrior | Advocate
A Life Marked by Purpose
I know what it’s like to carry invisible wounds.
As a child, I was a victim of abuse. I know the fear, the shame, and the silence that surrounds it. For years, I buried the pain. I wore the uniform of a protector — as a police officer, a military intelligence professional, and a father — all while silently carrying the weight of my own past.
But God wasn’t done with me.
He used my pain to forge my purpose.
That purpose became Children Such as These — a Faith-Based, Warrior-led movement to protect children, expose evil, and build a future where survivors can rise again.
From the Battlefield to the Mission Field
Over 30 years in law enforcement and 22 years in military service taught me how to defend, lead, and protect. But nothing could prepare me for the spiritual war raging against our children.
I founded Children Such as These because the silence is too loud, the evil is too real, and the need is too urgent.
Now, I fight not with a badge, cuffs, or a uniform — but with truth, faith, and the unshakable conviction that every child matters.
Sacred Horse Ranch
My vision is to build a place of refuge — a safe space where children can recover, reconnect with nature, and remember how to be kids again.
At Sacred Horse Ranch, survivors will heal through equine therapy, outdoor adventures, spiritual guidance, and the presence of people who truly understand.
We will not just give them shelter. We will give them strength.
The Road Ahead
In October 2025, I will begin a cross-country walk — from California to Florida — to raise national awareness for child exploitation and trafficking. This journey is more than symbolic. It is my cry for justice. Every step I take will honor children still living in fear — and call this nation to rise and fight.
A Message From Jeff
If you’re reading this, I want you to know that you don’t have to be perfect to fight for what’s right. You just need to show up!
I’m no hero; I am a survivor, a husband, a father — and a man who believes that God redeems even the darkest chapters of our lives.
Let’s fight together for Children Such as These.
