Recently I posted asking for input on where to give money. I then featured Kiva as where I decided to give and gave a brief intro to micro financing. I want to start featuring at least one place each month that I am going to give money or have given money to. My hope is to highlight some of the light that is being cast into this dismal world and to encourage both the organizations and those who may chose to give, pray, or join with them.
And the August giving highlight goes to … The International Justice Mission. Here is a blurb stolen from their website:
International Justice Mission is a human rights agency that secures justice for victims of slavery, sexual exploitation and other forms of violent oppression. IJM lawyers, investigators and aftercare professionals work with local governments to ensure victim rescue, to prosecute perpetrators and to strengthen the community and civic factors that promote functioning public justice systems.
IJM’s justice professionals work in their communities in 12 countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America to secure tangible and sustainable protection of national laws through local court systems.
It is obvious to see why this is a great org. to support. Seek justice, protect the oppressed, defend the orphan, plead for the widow. (Isaiah 1:17). This is all part of the love affair we enjoy in the Kingdom.
May the Lord’s will be done,
