| Please pray for our team as they design a new program on the commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC). In this complex process, they’ll merge all of our field research on the issue with IJM's 25+ years of expertise to choose the right strategies for reducing the crime and keeping girls safe. Pray for wisdom, courage and hope throughout this process, and for great alignment for everyone involved. |

| Pray for a successful conviction in Kenya of a man who sexually abused his 12-year-old daughter. IJM has been supporting the victim in the case since 2018. Please pray for her recovery, as the journey to get justice has been extremely fraught, with some of her relatives pressuring her to drop the case. Pray for her healing. |
| Latin America |
| Please pray for a retreat organized for survivors and the public justice system officials in Colombia during the third week of August.
The retreat will gather survivors of physical and sexual violence, government officials and other community leaders. It will serve as a time to hear survivor stories and find solutions to the barriers that victims face when they want to report a case of violence, find protection and seek aftercare support. Pray the retreat will be successful and that God will stir the hearts of government officials, so they are moved into action to protect those who live in vulnerable conditions. |

| Please pray for N, a survivor who endured severe physical abuse and unpaid wages working as a house helper. Pray for justice as IJM works with legal teams to seek compensation. Please also pray that paperwork will go smoothly so N can repatriate to her home country. We ask for prayers of restoration for N as she works to heal after years of trauma. |
| 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 for the IJM teams creating strategies for our end-of-year initiatives. Pray that God will provide wisdom and discernment as we approach the planning of this busy season. We also ask for prayers for all those who will encounter our end-of-year initiatives. Please pray for hearts to be opened to joining in the work of seeking justice. |
