| Praise God for justice in a case of abuse in Kenya. After enduring unspeakable abuse from a trusted coach at the age of six, Liam bravely testified in court, leading to the perpetrator’s conviction and 30-year sentence. With IJM's support, Liam and his family received counseling, and he is now safe, thriving in school and looking forward to a hopeful future. Please pray for Liam's continued healing and for his family as they rebuild from this trauma. Pray also for protection and justice for other vulnerable children in the community. |

| Praise God for the opportunity to support families of children who have experienced sexual abuse. AVES, one of our partners in Bolivia, offered a workshop for parents of children who were victims of violence and received legal and psychological support through our partners in 2024. The workshop provided parents information on how to build prevention strategies that protect family members from sexual violence and improve their communication and quality of life. |

| Please pray for dignified jobs for trafficking survivors as they rebuild their lives. Finding good work in their hometowns goes a long way to help survivors feel safe and self-confident. In particular, we are working with a group of teen boys and young men to find vocational training and good jobs after being rescued from bonded labor at jewelry factories. Pray we can find great opportunities that match their interests and keep them safe from re-trafficking long term. |

| Praise God for His transforming power in the life of a forced labor survivor in Myanmar. After being trafficked to China and forced to work in the customer service field, her life was changed when she learned about God at a partner shelter. Join us in praying for this survivor as she desires to serve in ministry and share the gospel with those in need. |
