The International Justice Mission Prayer Gathering starts today. IJM is an amazing organization started by Gary Haugen that works on the front lines of injustice, rescuing victims of violence, sexual exploitation, slavery, and oppression. I first heard about IJM in Gary's book, Good News About Injustice. My pastor, Mark Labberton, and a number of other people from First Pres Berkeley will be flying to Washington D.C. to participate in the annual global prayer gathering. They will join IJM staff from Asia, Africa, Latin America, Canada, the U.K., and the U.S. who will lead them in prayer. They will also hear personal testimony from victims of slavery and injustice, as well as from the teams who have been used by God to bring their rescue.
For those of us, myself included, who would love to attend this event but cannot make it to Washington D.C. - IJM has provided us with the online resources to participate in this event remotely. They have provided written prayer guides and video clips from IJM field staff. Let's join them in prayer this weekend.
