Freedom Sunday

Dedicate one Sunday at your church to end slavery, human trafficking and violence.

Learn to do good; seek justice,
rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan,
plead for the widow.
-Isaiah 1:17

We invite Canadian churches to join the global movement of Freedom Sunday. Bring your influence, prayers and resources to help send rescue and freedom to every child, woman and man trapped in violence.

When the church moves, it brings transformation. We want to help Christians embrace their identity as the hands and feet of Jesus. Hear an inspiring story from a pastor who brought Freedom Sunday to his church.

"As we (the church) follow the way of Jesus we increasingly discover His heart and burden for justice. Justice is both reparations of relationship and punishment for wrong done. Jesus accomplishes both for us on the cross reconciling us to God by taking the punishment of our sin on himself. This is a message we need to hear every week and Freedom Sunday is a way for us to apply the gospel practically as we join with other churches around the world praying for God’s kingdom and will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.”

Matt Naismith Pastor of Teaching & Vision, Church of the City (Guelph, ON)

“We participated in Freedom Sunday in 2018 and the results were remarkable. Our kids learned about modern slavery and came up with the idea to have a bake sale to help set a family free from slavery. A week later, they were blown away when they raised $761 to help bring freedom to a family. We’ve invited several other local churches to participate in Freedom Sunday this year. Who knows what we can accomplish together?”

Joyce Rees Pastor at Epic Vineyard Church (Calgary, AB)

“It was enlivening to join with others around the world to participate in the IJM Freedom Sunday The video and printed resources were well done and very helpful to facilitate a meaningful and challenging service. We look forward to doing this again!”

Laura Nelson Senior Pastor at Olivet Baptist Church (New Westminster, BC)
