| Pray for our teams in Uganda who are undergoing office relocations. Our offices in Fort Portal and Karamoja are moving into new spaces, so pray for all the logistics involved, and for staff to feel settled and inspired in their work in those new offices as they do the challenging day-to-day work involved in protecting women and children from violence. |

| Praise God for the National Survivor Network that had its first series of training on Trauma-Informed Care and on the Power of One’s Story in Peru. The initial meeting was the first step that these survivors took toward their healing and recovery from the trauma they experienced. Please pray that God will reveal His immense love to each one of these survivors so that they can know Him personally, and that they can apply what they’ve learned to recover and make a positive impact on the fight against violence that affects Peruvian women and children. |

| Pray we can find an expert local researcher to help us with a crucial study. We are hoping to measure the prevalence of sex trafficking in a new area we’re working. These insights will be critical for us to understand the crime, know where victims are living and mobilize government action. We need an experienced research partner who knows the local context deeply—pray we can make the right connections! |

| Praise God for IJM Malaysia's appointment to the MAPO Council, the key decision-making body for Malaysia's anti-trafficking efforts!

| IJM Global Office & Partners |

Pray that everyone involved with IJM’s work feels encouraged and empowered in their efforts. |
