"In the day of my trouble I will call to you, for you will answer me."
– Psalm 86:7
Africa & Europe
Please pray for the survivors of human trafficking in Europe whom our IJM Romania team is serving. They need protection, wisdom and strength as they pursue justice, regain control of their lives, discover and chase their dreams and follow new paths in life. Pray for our team as they devote their time to supporting these men and women to recover from the abuse they’ve experienced.
Latin America
Praise God for a visit that survivors of the Global Survivor Network chapter in Guatemala paid to the Victim’s Institute.
The visit helped survivors get familiar with the legal and psychological assistance offered by the Institute to victims and survivors of violence against women and children. The survivors also had the opportunity to share their experience as users of the Criminal Justice System, as well as their suggestions for improvements on services for victims. Please pray that this initiative can result in dignifying services for survivors and better access for women and children to justice.
South Asia
Praise God for a new chapter of the Global Survivor Network that just launched in a major source state for human trafficking. IJM and our partners have helped thousands of children, women and men return home to this state after being abused in other places. Today, they have launched an empowering survivor association to support one another and advocate for their needs. They already have over 1000 members! Pray for success as they get started and begin impacting their community.
Asia Pacific
Please join us in praying for an upcoming panel discussion on the topic of "Child Protection in the Digital Age." This forum will provide the opportunity to engage in a conversation on the challenges, innovations and effective practices that uphold the best interest of children in the digital age. Please pray for wisdom for the panelists and for a great turnout for the virtual event!
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.
Praise God for the creation of Canada’s Modern Slavery Act!
This new law (formerly known as Bill S211 - Fighting Forced Labour and Child Labour Act) will enable Canadian corporations to be effective actors in addressing forced and child labor. They will be required to investigate their supply chains to ensure no forced or child labor is present, take action to end it if they find abuses in their supply chains, and report on their findings. We pray that this Act will hasten the spread of justice around the globe!
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.
