"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
– John 16:33
South Asia
Please pray for lasting success from a "Freedom Training" that IJM and our government partners recently conducted for a group of survivors. We lead these trainings a few weeks after survivors are rescued from bonded labor—once they are past the "crisis" phase and can fully imagine life in freedom. Together with local partners, we share lessons on basic finances, finding dignified work, getting children in school, building healthy relationships, and planning for the future. This critical training can set families up for success long-term. Pray this recent class of survivors can take hold of these resources to achieve the lives they dream of.
Africa & Europe
Pray for the successful finalization of the Uganda baseline report. This research will help IJM and our partners understand the prevalence of domestic violence and sexual violence against women and children in the country, and the current challenges in the public justice system response. Pray that the findings will be well received and inform decisions for the protection of women and children.
Latin America
Please pray for upcoming training sessions for over 500 police officers in Bolivia, taking place across 10 municipalities from September to November. These sessions will focus on understanding trauma and its short- and long-term effects on victims. Officers will also learn how to improve their response to victims of sexual and physical violence from the very first interaction. Pray that these trainings will lead to better care and support for victims as they seek help from the Bolivian public justice system.
Asia Pacific
Praise God for the recent institutionalization of the Assessment of Survivor Outcomes (ASO) tool by the Department of Social Welfare and Development in the Philippines. This tool, created by IJM, sets a new standard for survivor care, ensuring that those rescued from trafficking receive comprehensive and effective support. Pray for the continued success of this tool as survivors reintegrate into their communities with restored hope.
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 that God would be honored through IJM’s Bay Area Prayer Gathering. This local prayer gathering is born out of our great desire and commitment to build a partnership between Bay Area local church communities and IJM so together we can support and inspire one another and put into action the passion of God’s people for biblical justice throughout the Bay Area and beyond. Please pray that this gathering being hosted by a local Bay Area church in October will activate a deeper faith that moves toward action for those who attend.
The updates we share on survivors or their cases can become sensitive over time. To respect and protect them, please refrain from posting these prayer requests online.
