IJM and Gary Haugen - The New Yorker

There seems to be a lot written about IJM this week. Yesterday, I posted about the award IJM Cebu received from a local newspaper. Also, IJM’s work worldwide is featured in the January 19 issue of The New Yorker. According to the information passed on from IJM headquarters, "Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Samantha Power spent more than two years researching IJM’s casework in four countries. Power thoroughly investigates many facets of IJM President Gary Haugen’s life, the mission and diverse viewpoints on anti-trafficking methodology. Ultimately, she provides the powerful evidence – by citing compelling IJM casework examples – of the life-changing and far-reaching outcomes of the work that you make possible. With a circulation of more than one million, The New Yorker is one of the nation’s most influential news sources, and the article unveils on the world’s stage IJM’s passion for, and commitment to, strengthening rule of law on behalf of the global poor."

So many thoughts came to mind as I read it. But none more than sheer gratitude for being just part of the work and admiration for all who serve here in Cebu and worldwide. God is so good and amazing to use any of us for the mission. My favorite part of the article was Haugen's quote, which is also the caption to the photo page.

"Prayers help," he says. Prayers and a lawyer help more."
