Freedom Sunday – praying for an end to slavery

Wednesday August 7th 2019

Freedom Sunday – a Sunday dedicated to highlighting the issue of slavery worldwide and praying for its end – takes place on September 22 this year.

International Justice Mission is the world’s largest anti-slavery organisation – last year, IJM and its partners rescued 4,500 victims of exploitation and abuse.

They included young boys working at a water treatment facility in India. The organisation was recently highlighted in the retirement events for Bishop Ken Good, Derry and Raphoe, as one of the bishop’s nominated charities.

Last year, more than 18,000 churches worldwide joined in and IJM would love to see that number increase in 2019

All the information a church needs to participate in Freedom Sunday is here.  Resources for sermons, videos, children’s groups and more are available.
