We think of “justice ministry” as Christian ministry to people who are suffering due to exploitation. We currently focus on the issue of human trafficking in the United States.

Throughout the Bible, we see God calling His people to “act with love and justice” [Hosea 12:6]. He will use His people to provide much needed help and freedom from human trafficking here on earth. God will also use His people to express the life-changing Good News that He has provided eternal freedom from sin by His grace and through faith in Jesus Christ. We know that God has chosen His Church to champion earthly and everlasting hope for the victims and the survivors of human trafficking— as well as for their exploiters, who also need Jesus.

Below are examples of how one JMN Team has served in “justice ministry” in the darkness of human trafficking in the United States. The heartbeat of JMN volunteers is to love and serve the vulnerable, the victims, the survivors, and the perpetrators. We serve in practical ways that point to the glorious life with Christ ahead of them. We call this “Gospel-oriented ministry” because though we may not always have the opportunity to share the verbal Gospel, our acts of service and love builds real relationships which can lead to open doors for JMN volunteers to share God's love and the Gospel. “Justice ministry” also involves raising awareness in our communities in order to prevent the future exploitation of those who may be vulnerable to being trafficked.

The Justice Ministry Network includes partnerships with churches as well as faith-based and secular anti-trafficking organizations.
