4th Annual Prayer Vigil in Balboa Park

SD Junior League's Human Trafficking Awareness Rally 1 p.m. - 3 p.m.
Corner of 6th and Laurel Streets in Balboa Park

Join us for our 4th Annual Prayer Vigil, which will take place after the Junior League's Human Trafficking Awareness Rally that begins at 1 p.m.. Each year this has been a wonderful time to come together as co-laborers in this anti-trafficking movement; taking time out of our busy lives to lift up prayers for our city, our officials, our legislators and judges, our law enforcement, our victims service providers, our child-welfare and social workers ... and all those involved from the victims to the perpetrators.  Bring a friend or family member and join us in this sacred time to remember that there's a God above who cares much more about this than us!  It is always a time of connection and empowerment that we would love to share with you. We are currently gathering our  "pray-ers" ... If you  or your pastor would like to lead us in a 1-2 minute prayer, please  contact  us at: cat@churchesagainsttrafficking.com.
