Speak Up Prayer Cafe - Intercessory Prayer with Panel

Thursday, January 21, 2027 at 2 p.m. EST (Noon PCT, 1 p.m. CST, 2 p.m. CDT)

Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking (MSHT) is happening right here in our communities. We have a responsibility to help create awareness and encourage others to SPEAK UP in support of those who are at risk. This cafe-style event invites you to take a break in your day, bring your favorite coffee or tea beverage with you, and participate actively in a time of intercessory prayer. We will feature three human trafficking points of concern, presented by three panelists who will lead us in prayer. Reaching out to God on behalf of those adversely affected by MSHT and calling on others to join in the response to end MSHT, are essential ways to SPEAK UP and affect justice right from where you are.
