"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."
– Psalm 23:4
South Asia
Praise God for a news article that helped secure aftercare support for a rescued couple in South Asia. This young couple was exploited at a farm for three years, where they tragically lost three daughters when the owner denied them medical care. Local authorities were hesitant to classify the case as bonded labor when the couple was freed in November—until a wisely placed news article caught the attention of a local judge who came to their aid. Now, officials are providing funds and other rehabilitation support to help the family heal. Pray for more coverage like this to help us end human trafficking!
Africa & Europe
Praise God for two child victims of trafficking brought safely home thanks to community outreach by the Ghana Survivor Network. As part of a door-to-door campaign, survivors met a woman who had unknowingly sent her sons into trafficking on Lake Volta. She asked for help bringing them back to her, and the survivors put her in contact with IJM who supported her to report the case to the local police. The boys were successfully rescued, and we ask for prayers as both are now receiving aftercare services from the Department of Social Welfare.
Latin America
Praise God for a 30-year sentence in Bolivia for a man who abused his stepdaughter for five years. Last year, the child's mother discovered the abuse and reported it to the police. The case was referred to PROBOS, one of our partners in Bolivia, where a dedicated team of lawyers, a social worker and a therapist stepped in to support the family. Today, the family feels relieved and grateful for this help. Now 16 years old, the child is receiving therapy to heal. Please pray for God’s healing of her physical and emotional wounds.
Asia Pacific
During Human Trafficking Awareness Month, please join us in praying for all those trapped in forced scamming. Every single day, migrant workers are being trafficked to Southeast Asia and forced to conduct scams online for up to 20 hours a day. We pray for increased awareness about this heinous crime, and for all those who have dedicated their lives to fighting it.
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.
We praise God for the opportunity to reach new audiences through IJM Canada CEO Anu George Canjanathoppil’s appearance on the Blind Love with Zack and Bliss. Anu joined Zack and Bliss, stars of Netflix’s Love is Blind, to share her story and how it led her to IJM. We pray this message will inspire thousands of new listeners and challenge them to get involved in the fight for justice.
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.
