Praise God for his justice in the life of a 14-year-old girl from Bolivia. Partners of IJM in the country secured a 25-year sentence against a man who sexually abused this girl. He was her brother-in-law. The abuse had happened for several months, and the survivor’s parents knew about it only after she became pregnant. The family is grateful for the support received, and the survivor is determined to finish her studies as she also cares for her baby. Please pray for her emotional recovery, and that God will show her that he loves her and her baby and has a plan for them. |
