"Bring to an end the violence of the wicked and make the righteous secure &mdash; you, the righteous God who probes minds and hearts."


- Psalm 7:9

Africa &#38; Europe
-
Praise God that we have been able to foster relationships in Kenya between the police and the local grassroots justice centers that are doing so much good work monitoring police abuses and supporting survivors. This past week IJM and the justice centers presented handwashing stations to the police to show our support for good policing, and recognition of the risks that they are taking to carry out their work during the pandemic. Pray that this relationship will be strengthened and that police would sincerely engage with the justice centers in dialogues that will help ensure policing is responsible, professional and truly in service to the community.
Latin America
- Pray for the millions of women and children in Central America suffering sexual and physical abuse due to the increase of violence resulting from lockdowns to contain COVID-19. As calls to helplines significantly increase due to domestic and sexual abuse through the region, pray for courage for victims to break the silence. Also pray for quick response from local authorities to protect them and for our team's safety as we continue to support local authorities during this pandemic.

South Asia
-
Praise God for a successful rescue operation this week, led by a police unit recently trained by IJM. After IJM trained these officers in February, they began working on the case of a missing 17-year-old girl who was suspected to have been trafficked across state lines. IJM was able to support police for weeks as they gathered evidence and pinpointed her whereabouts. They found her on Monday in the custody of traffickers who were attempting to force her into the sex trade &mdash; but thankfully rescued her before she could be sold. Praise God for the effective work of this team, and pray for this girl's ongoing recovery as we help her get home safely.

Southeast Asia
-
Pray for peace to fill the hearts and minds of the seven children rescued last week, and the three children rescued this week, out of cybersex trafficking in the Philippines. Pray for their complete healing and restoration. We also pray for the children who are still suffering from the abuse and violence of online sexual exploitation. Pray for God's favor on ongoing investigations &mdash; that they will lead to rescue and arrest operations and many more children living in safety.

Continue to pray with us as work begins soon to build out the major technology project that will redesign the IT systems we use to handle the data from our Field Offices. As we shared with you in February, being able to report on how our work impacts local communities and also have insight on the global problem of slavery is critical to helping us scale our solution to end slavery and violence against those who are poor. We are grateful the Lord has equipped us with team members who are using their talents and specialties to serve the mission in this unique way.
