| Praise God for Shechem Children’s Home in the Philippines—a safe, nurturing space run by the Church of the Nazarene that has served over 100 survivors of online sexual exploitation of children (OSEC) since 2019. Join us in praying for "Mama Ann" and her dedicated team as they continue to walk with children on their journey toward healing, family restoration and lasting hope. May God bless this faithful partnership and multiply its impact, so that every rescued child can rediscover the love of family and the safety he or she deserves. |

| Praise God for the powerful momentum of the survivor-led campaign in Ghana, where 43 children have been protected from trafficking and over 1,000 community leaders mobilized to protect those who are vulnerable. Pray with us for continued strength and wisdom for the survivors leading this movement, as they press forward with courage and compassion to transform their communities. May their voices grow louder, their impact deepen and their efforts inspire lasting change across Ghana and beyond. |

| We’re celebrating what God has done through a recent workshop in Colombia, where survivors of violence shared their stories as part of efforts to strengthen the Purple Patrol—a specialized police unit created in 2023 to respond to violence against women. Join us in praying for the women who bravely participated, and for the Purple Patrol officers as they grow in empathy and effectiveness through IJM’s support. May this partnership continue to transform first response in Colombia, ensuring survivors are met with dignity and care. |

| Pray for an upcoming event celebrating women who have survived bonded labor slavery. We are excited to partner with one state’s Women and Child Development Department to host several hundred survivors and government officials. This event will honor their stories and strength, and give these women a platform to share their ongoing needs. Pray for close connections between these survivors and officials, that they can work together to free other women from exploitation. |
| 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 World Day Against Trafficking in persons on July 30. As IJM educates individuals about trafficking around the globe, pray that hearts would be receptive to the message and drawn to the mission of IJM. |
