"The valuable work of IJM, in the words of Matthew 25 - the parable of the sheep and the goats - is to respond to the biblical mandate for justice, by serving Christ among the victims of oppression and injustice in God's world"
- The Most Revd and Rt Hon. Dr John Sentamu, Archbishop of York
"What an exciting organisation to be involved with! My three months working for IJM were the most formative of my life so far. IJM proves that the work of justice is do-able, and can be done with excellence, professionalism and great integrity. I have seen that IJM really is making a difference to victims of injustice who face daily abuses that you and I can barely fathom. To be part of a Christian movement that is acting as God's hands and feet - rescuing victims of sexual exploitation from brothels, slaves from exploitation and standing in the gap for those without an advocate- is absolutely thrilling."
-Alice Jones, legal intern in the IJM Washington DC office for 3 months last autumn
"Justice is in the heart of God, and is a significant part of our mission in the world. Every church should hear about the work of International Justice Mission. They will help you make a difference in the world."
- Dr. Rick Warren, Author, The Purpose Driven Life, Pastor, Saddleback Church
"God's call to do justice, love kindness and to walk humbly before our God goes beyond millennium development goals, and our response does not begin with aid agencies. It is a call TO every individual and requires a response FROM every individual. IJM provides a place for individual responses to become a collective action, making a real difference in what for many is an unjust, unkind and hostile world."
- Katei Kirby, Chief Executive Officer
African and Caribbean Evangelical Alliance
"I am impressed by the holistic and longitudinal approach adopted by IJM. People are not only rescued from abusive circumstances, but supported in recovery and rehabilitation. I have been deeply moved by the accounts of people whose lives have been changed through this organisation."
- Gillian Watson, Scotland
Member of a Social Work Child Care Management Team
"My work with IJM in South east Asia has meant claiming the promise of freedom for detained children who by law should be free. It is clear how effective and necessary it is when someone steps in to plead for the rights of the poor. Standing alongside courageous and talented professionals who offer their expert services on behalf of these children in jails and to victims of child abuse and trafficking who would otherwise be left to suffer alone is humbling and exciting. Meeting these children and their families, you sense the urgency of the assistance IJM brings, and the significant difference it makes to their lives. IJM's court action oils the wheels of the sometimes rusty justice system and sends a message of warning to those that might abuse the weak that there are people committed to seeing justice done"
- Andrew Legg BA (Oxon) BCL (Oxon), Former IJM South east Asia Legal Fellow,
Current Law Graduate Research Student and Lecturer at University College, Oxford
"As a Christian lawyer I am delighted to endorse a Christian organisation concerned to see justice for the poor, the weak, and the disadvantaged"
