The Ascent 121 Prayer Journey is an opportunity for you to drive through the near east side of Indianapolis and pray for areas affected by trafficking and exploitation. Through this experience you will learn more about the child welfare system, the juvenile justice system, different ways that teens are drawn into trafficking and recovery services that are available to survivors. Guided prayer stops allow you to pray for survivors, teens at risk, educators, social service providers, juvenile justice staff, law enforcement, ministries and organizations.

Your journey begins in the parking lot at the Indiana Department of Child Services and concludes at the Ascent 121 offices with a debrief for your group to process their experience. The Prayer Journey is intended for small and large groups. A parent must accompany participants under 18.

The experience begins with an online orientation sent to you prior to the event. At the selected date, you meet to receive needed materials for the self-guided drive to multiple locations around the city. Spend as long as you'd like praying for each one. The length of the event depends on how long you spend at each location, but averages between 2 and 2-1/2 hours total.
