Make It Clear Ministries An Interview with Caitlin Crane – Part 2 – Dr. Stan Ponz Caitlin Crane “She could have been me.” Those words echoed through my 14 year-old mind as I sat next to my parents at a fundraiser, listening to a woman tell a story about another 14 year-old girl in India. She had a family. Just like me. She went to school. Just like me. She had dreams for her future. Just like me. But those dreams were all shattered when she was taken and sold into sex trafficking. Months later, she was rescued by a ministry that helped her heal and get back on her feet – but she would never be the same. Her childhood innocence had been stolen. Her family wanted nothing to do with her. Because she had contracted AIDS, she could never get married and have children of her own within her culture. I couldn’t wrap my head around the horrific trauma she had gone through. But the realization that she could have been me struck a chord in my heart. At the time, I didn’t know that was the beginning of what would become a lifelong passion to fight on behalf of the exploited. 2007 – Caitlin at 14 years old with her family Three years passed, I graduated high school, and continued to be more and more involved in raising awareness in my community about the issue of sex trafficking. I combined my passion for music with my growing passion to fight against injustice by writing and recording a song called “Break the Chains”. 2013 – Caitlin performing her song “break the chains” In March 2013, I performed “Break the Chains” and spoke at an anti-trafficking fundraising event that I helped organize. It was at that event that I realized I wanted to be in this fight for the long run. I didn’t know what that looked like, or how I could even make a dent in such a massive worldwide problem. But I knew I could not sit back and do nothing. After some months of careful thought and counsel from a few trusted people in my life, I decided to just go for it. On December 17, 2013, I signed the paperwork to start a non-profit. I decided to call it Just1, because I wanted the heartbeat behind everything we do to be just one is worth fighting for. There are millions of children trapped in different forms of exploitation around the world, but if we can help save the life of just one of those children, it’ll all be worth it.

Make It Clear Ministries Helping youth leaders build Gospel Advancing, disciple-multiplying ministries Greg Stier has a reputation for knowing and relating to today’s teens in unique and effective ways. Because of his 25+ years in youth ministry, Greg is widely viewed as an authority on teen issues and adolescent spirituality. Over the course of the last 20 years, Greg has spoken to over 1,000,000 teens in major venues across the nation and heard countless stories of their struggles and triumphs. Greg’s commitment to mobilizing teenagers to reach their generation for Christ is rooted in the transforming power of the gospel. Raised in a violent, inner-city family of body-builders, he never had a dad and never felt like he measured up because his biceps weren’t big enough! But one by one, he saw his tough, urban family of “thugs” come to know Christ. And that ignited a passion in Greg to see all lost people come to know Jesus. Living just minutes away from the scene of the 1999 Columbine High School shootings in the Denver area, the tragedy triggered a pivotal turning point in Greg’s career. Following those events, he resigned a pastorate at a church in Arvada, Colorado, to pursue Dare 2 Share (D2S) full-time. Since then, Greg and the ministry of D2S have impacted the lives of hundreds of thousand teenagers across the country, motivating and equipping them to relationally reach out to those who don’t know Jesus with the gospel message of hope.
