"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."
– Joshua 1:9
Latin America
Please pray for the peace building process in Colombia. The Colombian government will begin implementing a 10-year, nationwide Action Plan for Women, Peace and Security, which will be critical to bring peace to the country. Please pray that women’s voices can be heard to make decisions about the implementation of the long-term actions, and that men, women and children can feel safe and live in peace across the country. Also, please pray for the safety of IJM staff, survivors and our partners in the region we serve.
Africa & Europe
Please pray for the successful integration of three children back into their families from a shelter in Ghana. We pray for the children's smooth adjustment as they return home, their families' commitment to their restoration and education, and government dedication to monitoring and ensuring their full recovery. Additionally, please pray for justice as the police work to apprehend the perpetrator involved.
South Asia
Pray for our efforts to support survivor-led businesses and help families secure dignified, sustainable work. Over the last few years, we’ve helped survivors access government benefit programs and trainings to start their own diverse small businesses—from brickmaking, to herb farming, to block-printed textiles. Many other survivors have ideas for what they’d like to do but may lack the education or business skills to run something on their own. Pray we can equip these survivors with essential skills—like banking and planning—so they can take ownership of their own careers and support their families with dignity.
Asia Pacific
Praise God for the repatriation of an Indonesian national from forced labor in the Philippines! This survivor, who had fallen victim to exploitation through a deceptive job offer, was rescued along with over 2,000 other individuals from an online gambling operation. We pray that she will find strength in her healing process, along with opportunities for fair employment to be able to support herself and her family.
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 praying for new IJM staff members, interns and fellows. Several times a year, IJM hosts a commissioning service where these individuals are prayed for as they are sent out to do work around the globe for the mission of IJM. We pray that God would give them strength and courage in their pursuit of justice, and that they would find purpose and fulfillment in their work knowing that they are making a significant impact in the fight against injustice.
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.
