Why pray about modern slavery?
Jesus came to proclaim freedom for the captives and release for the oppressed. Today, millions of men, women and children remain trapped in human trafficking.
As followers of Jesus, we are called to stand in prayer for freedom, justice and restoration, believing that He can do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.
The power of prayer
Isaiah 61:1 reminds us that we are called to bind up the broken-hearted, set captives free, and bring hope to those trapped in darkness. Through prayer, we partner with God to bring freedom, healing, restoration, and justice to victims and survivors of human trafficking.
“On your walls, O Jerusalem, I have set watchmen… take no rest, and give Him no rest until He establishes Jerusalem.”
Isaiah 62:6-7
