"Praise be to the Lord, for he has heard my cry for mercy. The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him."
– Psalm 28:6-7
Africa & Europe
Praise God for the survivor leaders in Ghana who are independently carrying out advocacy initiatives in their communities and schools to help teach children and their parents about the harms of child trafficking. Survivor leaders have reported that these awareness raising initiatives are inspiring community leaders and families to report cases of trafficking and take action to ensure children are safe and in school.
Latin America
Praise God for the opportunity to sign five agreements with new partners in the Northern Triangle. With IJM’s assistance and training, these new partners will enhance the care provided to women and children who are survivors of violence by helping guide them in accessing the Public Justice System and other essential services within their communities. Please join us in prayer for God's guidance throughout the implementation of these agreements, as we work towards increasing safety in these communities.
South Asia
Praise God for local authorities who recently rescued 30 people from a shrimp farm. These victims had been trafficked hundreds of miles from home and forced to work without pay. IJM and our local partner referred the case to local officials, who brought the victims to safety and (so far) have arrested one trafficker. Pray for these survivors as they return home and begin recovering in freedom.
Asia Pacific
Praise God for the successful release of the Scale of Harm prevalence study! We are so grateful for your prayers last week surrounding the public launch of this study, and we are encouraged by initial responses from partners and teams around the globe. Please continue to pray for the reception of these findings, that they may be used to further awareness of this crime and fuel the urgency for action.
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 join us in prayer for our Partner with a Field Office (PFO) program. Over the past few weeks, we've had the opportunity to connect donors with our staff and survivors worldwide, allowing donors to gain deeper insights into the impact of their donations. We pray that these interactions will strengthen the bond between donors and our mission, and that even more individuals would be inspired to become part of our PFO program!
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.
