This summer, the Ghana staff will host several groups of IJM donors, partners and staff members who will visit the office to learn more about the work of IJM on Lake Volta.

Latin America
Praise God for the opportunity to collaborate on an event hosted for members of the survivor network "My Story Matters," the Victim’s Institute and the Public’s Ministry of Guatemala.
The visit allowed members of the survivor network to get familiar with the services offered by state entities to victims and survivors of violence, as well as create a space for dialogue on how to improve these services. Please pray that these survivors will continue to have a voice regarding the design and implementation of services that address their needs.
South Asia
Pray for a group of 10 survivors recently rescued from six years of forced labor in road construction.
They were constantly moved around to different worksites and left to live in flimsy tin-sheet huts with minimal food, water or privacy. IJM’s partner discovered their case and worked with the government to rescue them, and now the survivors are beginning to resettle at home and process their trauma. Please pray for our partner’s wisdom and grace to comfort these 10 survivors and get them the support they need in this crucial period.
Asia Pacific
Praise God for the Online Sexual Exploitation of Children (OSEC) Program’s first academic peer-reviewed paper. "Online sexual exploitation of children in the Philippines: A scoping review" has been published in the Children and Youth Services journal, an international, multidisciplinary journal on vulnerable children and the systems designed to support them. Praise God for this opportunity to build IJM’s credibility with international research partners.
IJM Global Office & Partners
The IJM global office is located in the United States. IJM has Partner Offices in Australia, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, South Korea, Switzerland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
Please pray for our global teams as they begin collaborating on our biggest campaign of the year. The global year-end campaign provides an opportunity to tell the story of a brave survivor through video, story and design in new and unique ways. Join us in praying for the chosen survivor as we tell her story, and for smooth logistics for the project team as they start creating the campaign.
The updates we share on survivors or their cases can become sensitive over time. To respect and protect
them, please refrain from posting these prayer requests online.
