Prayer for an end to human trafficking
The exploitation and mistreatment of children breaks God’s heart. Join us as we pray for an end to the injustice of human trafficking.
More than 700 million people worldwide are living in extreme poverty — most of them women and children.
With an income of less than $2.15 per day, they are
deprived of basic human needs like access to clean water, nutritious food, healthcare, education, and spiritual nurture.
We believe that, together, we can change this.
