"He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me."
– 2 Samuel 22:20
Latin America
Praise God for bringing justice to a child who had been abused for three years. The young survivor was abused by a relative since she was 8 years old. After being able to tell her dad what was happening, the father placed a complaint but could not afford the legal support needed to prosecute the aggressor. We thank God for the support that our Bolivian pro-bono partners provided her and her family. The aggressor received a 25-year sentence, which means this child and others will be protected from his abuse.
Africa & Europe
Pray for our Kenya team as they navigate the challenge of frequent transfers and transitions within government partner institutions that can slow down progress of our work as we need to rebuild relationships after each change. Prayers for wisdom and understanding as we navigate this, and that God’s hand will be in the transitions, putting people with a heart for justice and protection of the vulnerable in leadership.
South Asia
Pray for frontlines staff investigating forced labor in hard-to-reach industries, like garment factories and mining sites. These large, organized businesses typically have tight security, and laborers rarely leave the site—making it hard for investigators to hear about potential exploitation. Pray for God’s protection as our teams gather information about abusive businesses, and pray for brave local law enforcement officials to follow-up on potential cases.
Asia Pacific

Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report . The TIP Report sheds light on the current scale of modern slavery around the world and allows us to know whether trafficking is improving or getting worse.
