Join the global Salvation Army in marking the 2024 International Day of Prayer for Victims of Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking on Sunday 22 September.

This year’s theme, ‘Let My People Go’, comes from Exodus 5:1 NIV. Salvationists from around the world have prepared resources to help corps, small groups and individuals learn, reflect and pray. This year, we also invite you and your communities to join us for a 24/7 prayer campaign in the week leading up to Sunday 22 September.
