International Justice Mission

Gary Haugen, founder and president of International Justice Mission, started the organization to release from bondage children sold in to the sex-slave trade, as well as go after the criminals who sell those children, primarily in Southeast Asia. His new book, Terrify No More, offers a behind-the-scenes, no-holds-barred examination of the sex-slave industry, as well as detailing some of IJM’s rescues and their work with Southeast Asian governments to prosecute the criminals responsible. I have not yet read the book myself, but it has made it’s way on to my Amazon wish list.

IJM is an organization dedicated to serving a group our Lord especially holds dear to His heart: children. It is one we, as Christians, should support with our prayers and financial contributions.

(I have no affiliation with IJM, other than having read about their efforts in the wake of the December 2004 tsunami in New Man. The organization also has a dedicated site for Canadians.)
