How can the local church be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ if we aren’t being his eyes and ears, too? How can we love someone if we don’t even know they exist?
”
Vulnerability is something we all share—the experience of an unmet need. It shows up in moments of loss, poverty, isolation, and transition, when people find themselves without power, protection, or support. When vulnerability goes unnoticed, it can be exploited in many forms, including trafficking, abuse, and systemic injustice.
Raleigh Sadler believes the local church is uniquely called to notice vulnerability and respond with compassion. His work is shaped by a simple but demanding mission: walking with others through their journey of vulnerability. Rather than offering quick fixes, Raleigh invites communities of faith to practice presence—to see people as neighbors and to love them where they are.
Raleigh is the founder and executive director of Let My People Go, the author of Vulnerable: Rethinking Human Trafficking and the Let My People Go Handbook, and the host of MercyCast, a podcast about learning the art of compassion through life’s adversity.
At the heart of Raleigh’s work is the conviction that God meets us in our vulnerability and calls us to do the same for others. When the church chooses proximity, humility, and love, it becomes a place where dignity is restored and hope can take root.
Invite Raleigh to walk with your church.
Raleigh partners with churches as a speaker and consultant, helping leaders and congregations recognize vulnerability in their communities and respond with wisdom, faithfulness, and care. Through preaching, teaching, workshops, and ongoing consultation, he equips churches to move beyond awareness toward faithful presence and action.

In an age marked by outrage and division, few issues unite people like the desire to end exploitation. Yet, when conversations turn toward our neighbors who are prostituted, homeless, undocumented, or living on the margins, unity often gives way to discomfort—or even hostility. Too often, our assumptions shape the story before we ever learn someone’s name.
But what happens when we stop assigning narratives and start listening instead?
Each link below leads to a conversation, article, or reflection that wrestles with that question. Together, they tell a larger story of how God invites the church—a community made up entirely of vulnerable people—to see with compassion and love those most susceptible to harm.
“Sadler explains that clergy have a particular responsibility to mobilize and inspire our communities to care for those who are vulnerable.”
“‘Everyone has vulnerabilities,’ said Raleigh Sadler. ‘If you address vulnerability you are addressing prevention, intervention – everything at once.’”
