For poor people throughout the developing world, this is everyday life:
No defense. No protection. Nothing to hold back violence.
Not just the violence that makes the headlines like war or genocide— but common, criminal violence.
The work of justice begins with prayer. As we seek justice on behalf of others, we rely on an all-powerful God to help us do what is only possible with and through him. We rely on the support of our global prayer partners and prayer communities as we work in areas of great darkness and serve those in desperate need of rescue and restoration. Join thousands of people committed to seeking justice through prayer.
International Justice Mission is a global organization that protects the poor from violence in the developing world. They rescue individuals, one by one. That is where the work starts, but not where it ends. They stop the violence before it starts by helping local law enforcement, courts and communities sustainably protect vulnerable people.
