Release the Captives Prayer Weekend
Sept. 29 >> Oct. 1, 2006

Vision

Our vision is for Christians to organize one day in the workplace and one Sunday to focus prayer and intercession on behalf of people who are trafficked, enslaved and exploited.

… say to the captives, ‘Come out,’ and to those in darkness, ‘Be free!’
—Isaiah 49:9

They cast lots for my people and traded boys for prostitutes; they sold girls for wine that they might drink.
—Joel 3:3

Purpose

Petition God to change things, to free the captives, to end these evils, and to guide and empower Christians to serve, to prevent, to rescue and to restore.

Clothe yourselves with the full armour of God so that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces or evil in the heavens.
—Ephesians 6:11-12

Plan

Prayer and awareness-raising materials will be available on the internet to facilitate local implementation of the prayer and fast weekend for use in both corps/churches and workplace settings.

Do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, tell your requests to God.
—Philippians 4:6
