From a mother’s heart
This call comes from a mother’s heartbreak.
I am the mother of two teenagers. I have seen harm touch my own children and their friends here at home and nationwide. As a child exploitation prevention and anti-trafficking advocate, I have met hundreds of “survivor parents” across the country who have lost children due to harms connected to TikTok, Snapchat, and Instagram, as well as Roblox, YouTube, and Discord.

We will pray for
Those who protect & help
The therapists, counselors, lawyers, judges, law enforcement officers, and policymakers working with children and families. May God give them wisdom, courage, discernment, and the resources to protect those in danger and help those who are suffering.
We will pray for
The people inside Big Tech, too
The executives, designers, and engineers making decisions about algorithms and AI. We will ask God to change hearts where children are treated as products, to bring truth into the light where harmful designs remain in place, and to confront efforts to resist accountability through lobbying or claims of legal immunity.
Our prayer must begin with repentance.
We cannot ask God to change our culture while refusing to let Him search our own hearts. Where we have been distracted, passive, fearful, or unwilling to see what is happening, we will confess it. We will ask Him to change us first, then give us the courage to protect children, help families, and stand in truth and love.
