Service Information

Louisiana Foundation Against Sexual Assaultis dedicated to helping ALL survivors seek justice. Our staff are trained navigated the complexities of the justice systems to ensure survivors' rights are protected and service providers as with legal matters. Survivors of sexual assault often are not able to retain legal services because they cannot afford the cost, they are scared or intimidated by the justice system, they are burdened by trauma of their experience, and/or they are not aware of their rights and the services available to them. LaFASA has recently established a legal advocacy program to answer the call of survivors in need of legal assistance by providing direct legal representation to individual survivors of sexual violence statewide and technical legal assistance to coalition member sexual assault crisis centers in Louisiana.


Mission Statement: Here at Serge, we know that a believer’s personal engagement with the gospel is the heartbeat of cross-cultural mission. We serve knowing that we need the gospel of grace even as we take that grace to the nations. And as we engage our own weaknesses in ministry, our struggles with relationships and the weight of sin, we find that the grace of the gospel motivates and sustains us to lay down our lives as we seek to reach all people and restore all things. We’re Here to Help You. Calling is an area of Christian life that can be confusing, often discerned alone—but it doesn’t have to be. We desire to walk alongside you as you consider how God is at work in your life. Take the next step and begin a conversation with us.
