"He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."
– Micah 6:8
Africa & Europe
Praise God for the arrest of two traffickers in the UK who had sexually exploited a young woman from Romania for profit. The survivor said that it was the IJM team supporting her that made her feel safe and empowered enough to give statements to the police. Pray for her as she recovers from the abuse, and for the smooth progress of the trial which will commence in six months.
Latin America
We thank God for the first meeting of "Mothers who Protect Children," a local network of women committed to protecting their children from sexual violence. At the end of September, more than 20 moms gathered in Huánuco, an Andean region of Peru that has struggled with high rates of sexual violence for decades. During the meeting, the moms participated in various activities and gained knowledge that will help them advocate for better protection for their children within the justice system.
South Asia
Praise God for three men and a teen boy recently rescued from a well-digging worksite in South Asia. They had been sold into bondage for about $950 USD and faced intense violence, including beatings with iron rods. IJM was part of a special "rapid response" team of government officials who helped rescue them last weekend. Pray for their recovery and for ongoing local media coverage of the case, which is raising awareness and the demand for protection.
Asia Pacific
Please pray for the courageous and resilient survivors who testify in court against their abusers. Many survivors must stand and face the accused in order to seek justice. We ask for boldness for each individual and for their testimonies to lead to closure in every case.
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.
Join us in praying for a local prayer gathering this November in Austin, Texas. Our longtime church partner, Austin Ridge, is hosting the event, with other area churches planning to join in. Please pray that the Lord will be honored as voices are raised to pray for those suffering from modern-day slavery. Pray that all who attend will encounter God's heart and leave empowered to continue the work of justice alongside IJM.
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.
