"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
– John 16:33
Africa & Europe
Pray for the IJM team in Romania as they are receiving many new trafficking cases, some very complex, which require significant resources and expertise. Pray for this small team as they take on the weight of these cases, that they would have strength and wisdom to know where to focus their efforts.
Latin America
Praise God for the opportunity to work with partners in El Salvador. By signing a new agreement with one partner, we are increasing our potential for bigger impact in rural regions where many individuals are vulnerable to daily violence. Please pray that God will continue to use our expertise to train and equip partners so that together we can reach more people in need of guidance about how to access justice in areas where services are limited.
South Asia
Please pray for the safety of our teams as they travel. We are working on cases and with partners across wide geographic areas—which means lots of planes, trains and automobile rides for our staff! Pray for God’s hand of protection over the team, especially as they go to very rural areas where risks increase. Pray for their good health and rest.
Asia Pacific
Praise God for survivor voices amplified in Malaysia! Several weeks ago, the Council for Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants held an event for World Day Against Trafficking that showcased survivor stories. We are grateful for the event’s strong turnout from partners, including representatives from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MOHA) and Ministry of Human Resource (MOHR). Please join us in praying for continued opportunities for survivors to raise their voices!
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 our quarterly prayer retreat! This week, staff from across North America came together in person to learn, pray and enjoy time together. We are so grateful for all that the Lord has done in and through the work of our hands, and for the sweet reminder this brings to our day-to-day work.
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.
