The Prayer Movement To End Slavery
Information:
Exodus Cry is an international anti-trafficking organization committed to abolishing modern day slavery and assisting the victims of human trafficking and slavery through rescue, rehabilitation, and reintegration into society. They began as a prayer meeting on February 5th, 2007. Benjamin Nolot had received a burden from God for human trafficking. Several hundred intercessors joined the call and together they cried out to God for a breakthrough. The very next day, one of the largest human trafficking busts in history occurred involving 2,400 arrests in 77 countries. That prayer meeting has evolved into a movement of intercessors and abolitionists that is today called Exodus Cry.

Exodus Cry exists to answer the crisis of modern day slavery. They are raising up a global prayer revolution that will confront the powers of injustice that are enslaving women and children. Nolot says that "we can have a rock concert, a benefit dinner, do all the awareness campaigns, all the activism, but the reality is if angels and demons do not move – nothing will change. This is a battle that must be won in the heavens. Exodus Cry is summoning an army of intercessors and prayer warriors to arise and contend for the ending of slavery in our generation. This is not about having some kind of self-righteous zeal or personal heroism, it is about partnership with the heart of God. Jesus Himself said He was 'anointed by the Spirit of the sovereign Lord to set the captives free, heal the brokenhearted, and deliver all who are oppressed.' Join us in raising up a movement of prayer for the ending of modern-day slavery."
The prayer force is small group prayer meetings focused on interceding for spiritual breakthrough concerning the issue of human trafficking and slavery. They currently sustain over 40 hours per week of small group prayer at their headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri. This ministry has 22 chapters in the USA
In writing about the battle against human trafficking, Nolot writes "what Abraham Lincoln, William Wilberforce, and Don in Cambodia all understood was that while human exertion is essential; our blood, sweat, and tears alone are not enough to bring freedom. The end of slavery will not come by good ideas, cool websites, rock concerts, nor even a riveting documentary. When we lose sight of this we have only the stench of humanism masquerading as social justice. The end of slavery is a vision that ultimately drives us to our knees and it is there we see the greatest abolitionist who ever lived and who alone is the end of slavery, Jesus Christ. He is our Deliverer, He is our Savior, He is our Healer, and through Him we are victorious.
Prayer Focus:
Pray that God will continue to use Exodus Cry to call people to prayer and fasting on behalf of the victims of human trafficking. Pray that their mission will be accomplished and that many will be set free from modern day slavery. Pray that God will continue to us this ministry to rescue, rehabilitate and reintegrate those who have fallen prey to sex trafficking. Pray that many prayer warriors will join in the prayers of this ministry on a regular basis to impact the darkness. Pray that churches will begin to become involved in the greatest global crisis of the 21st century.
