Please pray that God will grant us wisdom and favor when coordinating many tasks before the results are presented to public authorities in the next two months.

Ask for God’s wisdom and discernment as we finalize plans for some major studies in our region. These studies are critical for understanding the issue and creating smart solutions. Pray we can find the right research partners to help us evaluate the prevalence of bonded labor and the performance of the justice system in new areas where we hope to expand. Pray for our brilliant research team as they take these time-intensive studies forward in the next few weeks.

Praise God for a joint effort that led to the rescue of a six-year-old girl from online sexual exploitation!
