Call to Prayer for Victims of Sex Trade Trafficking

'Sunday 30 September 2007 is the day set aside for a focus on sex-trade trafficking and other social justice issues. I am calling the Army to prayer once again for those exploited and irreparably damaged as victims of this dreadfully evil trade. The matter is a core issue for the Army today, just as much as it was in our early days. The holy instinct for addressing it can be said to be part of our DNA. Prayer, education, fund-raising and protection for the vulnerable, including children, are four powerful tools we are using. We can pray for the victims, for their families, for the relief agencies, for all working to reduce and to frustrate the evildoers,and for the forces of law and order. Let us pray also for political leaders to have the will and wisdom to enact laws that will tackle this menace.'– General Shaw Clifton
