"The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."

– Deuteronomy 31:8

Africa & Europe

• Pray for the Mavoko 3 trial in Kenya as it continues this week. Pray for comfort for the family and friends of the victims — IJM staff member Willie, our client Josephat, and our driver Joseph — and that the trial would be able to reach a swift conclusion with justice realized.

Latin America

• Pray for all open cases in the Dominican Republic, as our team is diligently taking these cases to court to represent survivors of sex trafficking. Please pray especially for the cases that are in the last stages of trial. Pray that criminals are held accountable for the crimes committed, and that survivors are vindicated and placed on the path to a full restoration.

South Asia

• Pray for courage and joy for the survivors of sex trafficking we're supporting in our Champions Program. These young women have overcome immense trauma and are emerging as brave new voices in the fight against sex trafficking. As part of this special program, they learn how to share their stories, raise awareness and advocate for change. Many of them have had the opportunity to speak at conferences or on the radio — and it's been so beautiful to watch them shine. Please pray for more opportunities for these survivors to lead the conversation, and for their ongoing healing and restoration.

Southeast Asia

• Please pray for our IJM Bangkok team as they seek new cases. Pray that God will continue to guide them to more cases and more rescues for those trapped in forced labor slavery in the Thai fishing and seafood industry.
