| "But you do see! Indeed you note trouble and grief, that you may take it into your hands; the helpless commit themselves to you; you have been the helper of the orphan." |

| Praise God for the recognition that the Bolivian government granted to Phoenix Group, our survivor network in the country. The Bolivian legislature recognized Phoenix for its work in promoting entrepreneurship, leadership and recovery of survivors of sexual violence. Phoenix currently has 35 members who meet regularly to talk about their stories and heal. Please pray that God will reveal His love to each one of these survivors so they can know Him personally and be healed. |

| Please pray for Ukraine and Ukrainian refugees as financial support for them is decreasing. Additionally, in July, Ukraine’s largest children’s hospital was destroyed, leaving many people without shelter or proper medical support. Please pray for peace and cease fire in Ukraine, reduction of aggression and overall hatred in the hearts of aggressors and anyone who wishes to cause harm to others. |

| Pray for relief from severe monsoon rains impacting our staff and partners. Long days of rain cause frequent flooding in our major cities, along with power outages and other logistical challenges. It can be especially unsafe for people who live in poverty without secure homes or equipment. Pray for periods of relief and swift action from local authorities when conditions become unsafe. |
| Asia Pacific |
| Please pray for victims of forced scamming in the Asia Pacific region. Forced scamming is one of the most complex and fastest-growing forms of modern slavery in the world. Pray that victims who are currently trapped in forced scamming will experience freedom and restoration. Please pray for wisdom and endurance for IJM staff and partners as they seek to care for victims and hold perpetrators accountable. |
| 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, Singapore, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. |
| Pray over the newly opened applications for the 2025 global internship. Pray that God will make His will abundantly clear for those deciding whether to apply for this internship and that He will lead the right people to IJM. We also ask that God will begin equipping future IJM interns' hearts and minds even now. |
