Henry and Amanda Hastings are the founders of Justice Reigns, an anti-trafficking ministry dedicated to exposing darkness, rescuing the oppressed, restoring survivors, and advancing justice through strategic partnerships and Kingdom-driven action.

In 2023, Henry and Amanda sensed a clear calling from the Lord to confront the injustice of modern-day slavery through the mandate found in Psalm 82:3–4:

“Give justice to the weak and the fatherless;
maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.
Rescue the weak and the needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”

This passage became the spiritual foundation for their work and the driving vision behind Justice Reigns—to see captives set free, trafficking networks dismantled, and survivors restored to wholeness.

Together, Henry and Amanda bring more than 30 years of combined pastoral ministry experience as ordained leaders who have served in both staff and senior leadership roles. Their ministry has long been centered on equipping believers to walk in the love, power, and authority of Christ to bring transformation in families, communities, and nations.

Henry’s calling to confront human trafficking was deeply shaped by his 14 years of service as a Green Beret. The Special Forces motto De Oppresso Liber, “to liberate the oppressed” continues to define his life’s mission to stand against injustice and bring freedom to those held in bondage. Henry holds a Bachelor of Science in Business from the University of Southern California and a Master of Theology (Th.M.) from Dallas Theological Seminary, equipping him to lead both strategically and spiritually in the fight against modern-day slavery.

Amanda Hastings carries a deep calling to see survivors of trafficking experience true restoration, healing, and redemption. With more than 15 years of pastoral ministry experience, she brings spiritual insight, compassion, and leadership to the restoration side of anti-trafficking work. Amanda is passionate about helping survivors reclaim their dignity, identity, and purpose, while also championing their voices and sharing their stories so that their testimonies of God’s goodness can inspire hope, healing, and freedom for others.

Together, Henry and Amanda also founded SMC Tribe (Shoot Move Communicate), a ministry focused on equipping men to walk in righteousness, sexual purity, and biblical masculinity—restoring the roles of husband, father, and protector within the family. They believe that when righteous men arise, darkness loses ground, including the demand that fuels human trafficking.

Through Justice Reigns, Henry and Amanda are building a growing network of ministries, investigators, advocates, and survivor-care organizations working together to dismantle trafficking networks and provide long-term restoration for survivors.

Their vision is a world where captives are set free, survivors are restored to wholeness, and justice reigns in every sphere of society.
