Weekly Watch Focus: Abortion, Slavery, and Human Trafficking
FRIDAY, January 18, 2013 On this, the 40th anniversary of legalized abortion in America, let us repent for all the innocents that have been killed in our nation through abortion. Pray for mercy and a turnaround regarding this evil act of violence. Let us also pray for the more than 30 million victims of human trafficking and sex slavery across the globe (according to the U.S. State Dept.). May there be increased action against this modern day slavery. Pray for the rescue of these millions of victims. May God strengthen and protect those helping to put a stop to this heinous exploitation through modern day slavery and human trafficking.

When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’”
