Praise God for the opportunity to organize and lead a round table collaboration with the Colombian Ministry of Justice, and civil and international organizations.
During this event, participants discussed the challenges faced by Colombian women and children to see justice when they have been victims of violence. This is a great step towards strengthening the Colombian justice system for vulnerable populations. Please pray that God will work in the hearts of government officials so they can make decisions that will increase protection for women and children.

Above all, pray for God’s blessing over our plans so that we can protect the most people possible from human trafficking this next year.
