Matt & Laura Parker – Founders of The Exodus Road
More than 50 million people around the world are currently living in bondage—an overwhelming statistic that often leaves many feeling helpless. But for Matt and Laura Parker, inaction was never an option. What began as a humanitarian mission to serve vulnerable children in Southeast Asia evolved into a frontline effort to combat human trafficking. Their nonprofit, The Exodus Road, now operates across six countries, partnering with law enforcement to rescue victims, arrest traffickers, and offer long-term aftercare to survivors.
This compelling story traces the Parkers’ journey from small-town roots to undercover investigations, and ultimately to the creation of a global organization committed to justice and freedom.
Read the full story to learn how one family’s courage is making a measurable impact in the fight against modern-day slavery.
Meet Matt & Laura Parker
“It was appalling, this idea that people would buy kids for sex. I couldn’t stomach the thought. I just didn’t believe it at first.” — Matt Parker
“I remember sitting there, crying and thinking, ‘Okay, this is horribly tragic...’ And then I remember this moment… One of my kids came over and handed me a rock from the creek… And I heard this clear question in my spirit, ‘If it was your child, what would the answer be?’” — Laura Parker

From aerospace and defense, to advanced manufacturing, to cybersecurity and dozens of other industry sectors, So. Colorado is now home to US SPACE COMMAND, five active military installations, and multiple industry clusters with a tremendous focus on workforce, education, and our nation’s security.
It’s also home to the US Olympic & Paralympic Committee, USOPC Training Center, UCOPC Museum, and 25 National Governing Bodies making it a prime destination for businesses in the amateur and collegiate sports industries.
THE MILITARY
