Please pray for our upcoming field studies on the prevalence of bonded labor slavery in our program areas. This intricate research will help us understand the issue more deeply and set a baseline to help measure our impact over time. We hope to survey these same communities in 5-7 years to show a dramatic reduction in slavery due to IJM and our partners’ work. Pray for safety as the research team travels, for wisdom as they interview workers, and for the truth to be revealed. |

Pray for our strategic litigation cases in Kenya; these are cases that help to highlight gaps affecting the smooth flow concerning cases of police abuse of power within the justice system. Pray that the learnings from this litigation will help to strengthen the justice system to provide protection for victims of police abuse of power. |

Please pray for a Peruvian survivor who endured sexual abuse. The case went to trial and the prosecutor asked for a 20-year sentence. However, there have been some challenges in getting the aggressor to come before the judge for sentencing. Please pray that he is caught to serve his sentence so that the survivor will feel safe. Please pray that God would bring peace, healing and confidence to the survivor´s heart. |
