"But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted; you consider their grief and take it in hand. The victims commit themselves to you; you are the helper of the fatherless."
– Psalm 10:14
Africa & Europe
Praise God for the conviction of five perpetrators on charges of human trafficking and child sexual exploitation materials in Romania. The five perpetrators received sentences of up to five years. The two victims, one of whom was a minor, were assisted by IJM and received compensation of 20,000 Euros. Pray for their full recovery and healing, and a future in which they can live in safety.
Latin America
Please pray for the coming elections in Guatemala. After the initial vote in June, there will be a second round of voting in August. Please pray that the new authorities will embrace our vision and continue to support IJM’s projects that protect victims and survivors of violence.
South Asia
Pray for 11 men recently rescued from a ginger farm, and praise God for two traffickers arrested in this case. These two suspects were tied to at least three other trafficking cases as well. Pray the local justice system would keep them in custody so they cannot abuse and exploit other victims. Pray for recovery for these 11 survivors as they return home and begin rebuilding life in freedom.
Asia Pacific
Praise God that the Philippines maintained its Tier 1 ranking in the recently released 2023 Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report for the eighth consecutive year! The report ranks countries based on the strength and effectiveness of their anti-trafficking efforts, and this Tier 1 ranking highlights the Philippines’ exemplary efforts in the fight against all forms of human trafficking. We ask for your continued prayers for IJM’s efforts in the country to reduce the scale of the problem.

Advocacy Summit on October 16-17 in Washington D.C. This gathering of IJM supporters from across the country will include a day of training, speaker engagements and small group activities, all aimed at preparing attendees to lobby Congress the next day on key legislation to combat the online sexual exploitation of children. We pray specifically for smooth event logistics and meeting scheduling, as well as congressional movement to support this legislation.
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.
