Upcoming Events & Meetings

4th Annual Prayer Vigil in Balboa Park 
Saturday, January 26th, 12-1p.m.
SD Junior League's Human Trafficking Awareness Rally 10am-12pm
Corner of 6th and Laurel Streets in Balboa Park

Join us for our 4th Annual Prayer Vigil from 12-1 p.m. which will take place after the Junior League's Human Trafficking Awareness Rally from 10-12 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.
