"He defended the cause of the poor and needy...is that not what it means to know me?" declares the LORD. --Jeremiah 22:16

15-year-old Sandra* was sexually abused by her father and older brothers, who threatened to kill her if she told anyone what was happening. But AJS-supported justice workers turned Sandra's life around by helping authorities rescue Sandra and arrest and convict the men who abused her.

Want to learn more about how you can help Sandra and others like her? About God's heart for the poor and needy? About how he wants to use you to defend them? Then come on out the AJS 2008 Celebration of Justice!
