IJM GPG

JOIN A GLOBAL PRAYER
MOVEMENT TO HELP
END SLAVERY.

Lead a Local Prayer Gathering to gather and pray for those facing violence and slavery around the world. Invite your community to lift their voices in unison and experience the transformative power of prayer in the work of justice.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Your prayers make a difference.

Local Prayer Gatherings serve as a catalyst to draw closer to the heart of God and the mission of IJM, empowering each of us to play a part in ending slavery. You also have the privilege of encouraging IJM staff, who are on the front lines of this work, by praying for their real-time prayer requests.

“You also must help us in prayer, so that many will give thanks on our behalf for the blessing granted us through the prayers of many.”
- 2 Corinthians 1:11

Help us push back the darkness through the power of prayer.

With millions of people living in slavery around the world today, many Christians wonder, “How can I help? Can I even make a difference?”

THE ANSWER IS YES!

When you sign up to lead a Local Prayer Gathering, you will receive a customizable toolkit of resources to help you effectively and efficiently plan and host your gathering. We will also provide a helpful outline for formatting your event that you can adapt to fit the needs of your community.

At IJM, we believe in the power of prayer. Each staff member, spread across 26 countries in 39 offices, communes with God and prays at least one hour each workday. That’s over 1,200 hours of prayer daily!

Prayer is built into the framework of IJM because we believe, and have seen repeatedly, that prayer moves the hand of God. Rescuing and protecting millions from the harsh realities of slavery and violence isn’t possible without prayer.

"In that moment of helplessness, all I could do was wait in prayer asking God to move mountains. God did move and within the next day or so, we went and rescued all the laborers.”
