"He will be a spirit of justice to the one who sits in judgement, a source of strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate."
– Isaiah 28:6
South Asia
Please pray for a young woman recently rescued from severe violence at a farm. When she missed some days of work, the farm owners beat her and burned her with a hot pipe. They also forced other laborers to humiliate and torture her as well. Pray for this woman and her husband as they recover physically and emotionally from this shocking abuse. Please also pray for IJM and our government partners as we push for truth and accountability in a very complicated case.
Africa & Europe
Praise God for a significant sentence in a case of sexual violence against a child in Uganda. A man who won the trust of community members as a self-proclaimed pastor abused their trust to sexually assault a 12-year-old. Sexual Violence against children remains rampant in Uganda. One in three girls (35%) and one in six boys (17%) report experiencing sexual violence during their childhood. Pray for healing for the child and the community, as well as justice in additional ongoing cases against the same man.
Latin America
Join us in praising God for IJM Peru’s first meeting with a survivor network chapter, "Libres Para Servir," this past Friday! This group is composed of 22 incredible women with disabilities who are survivors of sexual violence. They are committed to advocating for justice and empowering other survivors. During the meeting, they established the network's mission, vision and statutes. IJM will support them this year through leadership trainings, advocacy opportunities and facilitating the annual national meeting of Peru's GSN chapters. We are grateful for the opportunity to play a small part in this group's pursuit of justice for vulnerable populations. Please pray for God's continued blessing in their efforts!
Asia Pacific
Pray for IJM Staff in the Philippines who are hiring for multiple roles. Please pray that God will bring the right candidates to the team and that the work of justice will grow through these new team members. We also ask that the hiring teams have discernment and wisdom throughout this process and be able to provide a positive experience for all who apply.

Pray for IJM's online safety campaign. This initiative is working to equip parents with tips to protect their kids online. We ask you to join us in praying for families struggling with online safety and that this campaign may help them feel a little less alone. Additionally, pray for IJM staff who regularly share weighty topics like online safety and IJM's work combatting the online sexual exploitation of children. Pray that they may be regularly reminded and encouraged, knowing it is God who carries this heavy work.
