This episode of Let's Talk is brought to you in part by International Justice Mission.

IJM is a global nonprofit working to end slavery and violence around the world.

Across Southern Asia, I.J.M. works to rescue people out of slavery and trafficking.

In Latin America, they help children and women who have survived all kinds of violence and abuse.

In short, I.J.M. is a community of Christ's followers fighting for the freedom and

protection of the most vulnerable in our world.

Over the last two decades, more than 50,000 individuals

have been set free, thanks to people like you

who sent I. JM to rescue them. But there are thousands of more, children, men, and women who are still

waiting for rescue. You can make a difference in their lives by becoming a freedom partner.

Visit I.J.org slash Let's Talk to join today.

Your consistent support will impact the lives of individuals all over the world.
