The Salvation Army is deeply committed to fighting and responding to modern slavery and human trafficking. We have a theological and historical mandate. We believe prayer is foundational and an essential, powerful tool to fight for freedom and work towards a world free from exploitation.
We invite you to join Salvationists and friends around the world on Sunday, September 26, 2021, to corporately cry out for justice and freedom.
We want to activate our collective voice to say that we believe a world without modern slavery and human trafficking is possible. Here's how you can participate.
