IJM Benefit

Friends--I mentioned that I volunteered last week for an International Justice Mission fundraiser, and I want to share this communication as a follow-up. What a joy to know that the event was so successful financially! Also, this email (now a post) has several links for easy involvement, including a link to an audio clip of the speech about tenacious love that has been replaying in my mind all week. Thank you, Jesus, for the internet, since I didn't think to take notes. I remain, caffeinated-yet-sleepy, yours, Katie

Dear Katherine,

It was such a joy to have you join us this weekend at the IJM Benefit Dinner, and we’re so encouraged to see the justice movement growing in Los Angeles.

Our evening together raised nearly $1.1 million for justice. If you would still like to give and send IJM to care for victims of violent oppression, simply go to www.ijm.org/give.

We would love for you to deepen your partnership in this fight. Here are a few additional ways you can join us.

Spread the Word: Introduce your network to the work of IJM. Start with this video celebrating IJM’s 15-year anniversary, or share the L.A. Benefit speech,available here on our website.

Advocate: Urge your elected officials to become anti-slavery champions! Join IJM and learn about local advocacy efforts by "liking" the California IJM Advocacy Facebook page.

Engage Your Church: Encourage your church to join the other churches in the Los Angeles area that participate with us in the work of justice. If you would like to connect your church to IJM, please contact Director of Church Mobilization, Jocelyn White (jwhite@ijm.org).

My IJM colleagues are in the midst of the long, worthy fight for justice - sustained by the love you've shown for children, women and men around the world who desperately need an advocate.

On behalf of the IJM team and those whom you enable us to serve, thank you.

Warmly,

Gary Haugen
President and CEO
