"Follow God's example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God."
– Ephesians 5:1-2
Africa & Europe
Please pray for our teams across Africa and Europe in the final month of 2023. We pray for blessing and peace during the upcoming holiday season, and for God’s care for our staff and their families, survivors, partners and all those who engage with IJM.
Latin America
Praise God for bringing justice to eight girls who were victims of sexual abuse in Bolivia.
An IJM-led team of pro-bono lawyers representing these children achieved convictions against three perpetrators. In the first case, a girl received justice when the two perpetrators were sentenced to 30 years in prison. In the second case, seven middle school girls who were abused by their professor now feel safer because the perpetrator received a 50-year sentence. Thank God for sending justice for the survivors and their families! Pray for God’s peace and healing in their hearts.
South Asia
Please pray over our preparations for an upcoming conference we are planning with the government. This will be a strategic forum for discussing recent trends in violence against women and highlighting solutions together. Pray for the tricky pre-event logistics—like bookings, visas and travel—and pray for God’s blessing over our discussions. Pray this would lead to breakthrough in protection for all women, and pray for new doors to open in IJM’s global partnerships.
Asia Pacific
Praise God for the rescue of 17 women and girls aged 14 to 27 years old in Myanmar. The Anti-Trafficking Task Force and an IJM partner initiated a rescue operation at a brothel based on information reported by the aunt of one those removed from the establishment. Please pray for the aftercare and restoration of the survivors, and pray for IJM Myanmar and their partners as they prepare for the legal process ahead of them.
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.
Pray for the Paul Baloche Christmas Tour taking place in Canada this week! The tour kicked off on November 27 and will continue until December 4. During the tour, our team will be inviting new Freedom Partners into our work. We pray for hearts to be moved toward the mission and vision of IJM!
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.
