International Prayer Weekend Initiative

THE FIGHT CONTINUES

There is big transformation locally as well as globally. Awareness is being raised at local levels such as work, school, college or church. Groups have organised ‘stay-awake-athons’, walk-athons, swim-athons and all sorts of creative fundraising activities. Some groups have also conducted community meetings and research to look at the problem of trafficking locally as well as linking with local authorities to tackle the issue head-on in their towns.

The Salvation Army is committed to raising awareness on this topic, and evidence is seen in such events as the International Prayer weekend initiative.  In the UK, there has been the formation of a national task force which is looking at care provision for trafficking victims. There are diverse actions taking place with with the formation of new coalitions such as ‘Stop the Traffik’ (www.stopthetraffick.org), which was formed by Steve Chalke, not long after he was at ROOTS last year. Partnership with coalitions and organisations like this is crucial to a coordinated and large-scale effort to eradicate trafficking for good.

We have been overwhelmed by the way in which you and your friends have responded to the issue of human trafficking. The funding, prayer and campaigning that you remain committed to enables us to achieve so much more than we initially imagined possible!

The unfortunate truth however, is that the problem is still a reality in our world today. Continued commitment from you, our partners in this campaign, is vital to ensure that the huge list of new anti-trafficking projects, in Canada, in the UK, in the USA, and around the world, get the resources they need.
