IJM-International Justice Mission
Posted on Jan 31, 2011
The ACU IJM Chapter was established in 1999 as the first IJM Campus Chapter. We are a group of students who are concerned about issues of injustice and who desire to work together as advocates for the oppressed in a world of suffering.
We partner with IJM in three ways:
1. Raising our voices on behalf of victims of injustice through prayer and advocacy.
2. Raising awareness on the ACU campus, and in Abilene, of the reality of oppression in our world.
3. Raising support to enable IJM to rescue more victims of oppression.
International Justice Mission is a human rights agency that secures justice for victims of slavery, sexual exploitation and other forms of violent oppression. IJM lawyers, investigators and aftercare professionals work with local governments to ensure victim rescue, to prosecute perpetrators and to strengthen the community and civic factors that promote functioning public justice systems.
IJM holds chapel every Thursday in ADMIN Room 219. We run various campaigns every year that sometimes change. This past fall we held Socks and Ramen campaign that focused on impacting the homeless around Abilene. Our biggest event of the year takes place each spring and is called Justice Week. We have various chapel speakers and forums through the week. We have concerts, a prayer tent, and other mis. activities.
