| “Evildoers do not understand what is right, but those who seek the Lord understand it fully.” |
| – Proverbs 28:5 |
| Africa & Europe |
| Praise God for the incredible opportunity to share the European Anti-Trafficking Program’s (EATP’s) work through CNN’s Freedom Project!
This was the first time a survivor from EATP, Samara*, was interviewed by media, and we are so grateful everything went smoothly. Please pray for the upcoming vote in the Romanian Parliament to extend the mandate of the Parliamentary Commission Against Trafficking in Persons, and for wisdom as we engage in critical consultations to shorten trial durations for trafficking cases in Romania. |
| Latin America |
| Praise God for IJM’s efforts in fostering collaboration that led to the creation of two Interinstitutional Roundtables to expedite justice for women and children in Guatemala. Pray that these roundtables would be effective in strengthening investigations and providing trauma-informed support for survivors. Ask God to bring protection, healing and hope to those affected by violence and to transform the justice system to protect those who are most vulnerable. |
| South Asia |
| Please pray for an upcoming consultation with influential South Asian business leaders. We will be introducing them to IJM’s work and the issue of human trafficking, then inviting them to join us in advocating for and supporting the mission. Millions of vulnerable people are exploited in South Asian labor supply chains, and we know these business leaders can be hugely influential in protecting them. Ask God to prepare their hearts and minds, and pray for wisdom for the IJM team planning this key event. |
| Asia Pacific |
| Praise God for the Manila Prayer Gathering and the 300+ individuals across denominations and sectors who united this week to urge God to end online sexual exploitation of children (OSEC). Please pray that the conversations, fellowship and prayers from this gathering bear lasting fruit—strengthening partnerships, inspiring action and bringing true freedom to those impacted by OSEC. May the Holy Spirit continue to move powerfully in the hearts of leaders, advocates and survivors as they work together to see God’s justice. |
| 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. |
| Praise God for the gathering of IJM colleagues for a quarterly prayer retreat yesterday! We pray that this time of reflection and fellowship will refresh and strengthen IJM staff in their work. May God grant them health and safety as they travel home. |
