International Justice Mission
Following the biblical command to “seek justice, rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan and plead for the widow” (Isaiah 1:17), International Justice Mission (IJM) is a Christian human rights ministry that helps people suffering injustice and oppression who cannot rely on local authorities for relief. IJM documents and monitors conditions of abuse and oppression, educates the church and the public about the abuses, and mobilizes intervention on behalf of the victims. IJM advocates get involved in cases of bonded child slavery, forced prostitution and sex trafficking, illegal detention, land seizure, and government misconduct.
Northwestern College’s IJM chapter is one of over 60 campus chapters at colleges and universities across the U.S. Northwestern’s IJM chapter aims to:
- Change what our campus community knows about the injustices taking place every day in our world;
- Change how much Northwestern students, faculty and staff can do about this injustice; and
- Change the way our campus views the priorities of an active, relevant Christian faith.
Participation in IJM is a great opportunity for students studying criminal justice (sociology), political science, pre-law, social work and other majors to extend their learning beyond the classroom.
Contact student leaders Courtney Holm and Heidi Te Grootenhuis at the IJM e-mail address, ijm@nwciowa.edu, for information about getting involved.
