"But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted; you consider their grief and take it in hand. The victims commit themselves to you; you are the helper of the fatherless."
– Psalm 10:14
South Asia
Praise God for a rescue operation last week—on World Day Against Trafficking in Persons—that freed 12 people from brutal bonded labor at a sugar processing factory. Seven children were among the victims, who had all been forced to work 14-hour days for years to harvest and process raw sugar. The wealthy factory owner tried to pressure the government to stop the operation, but authorities remained strong to free the victims and file strong charges. Please pray for rest and recovery as the survivors settle into freedom.
Africa & Europe
Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Ghana as they mourn a devastating military helicopter crash that claimed eight lives, including two government ministers and several officials. Ask God to comfort the grieving families and guide the nation’s leaders as they navigate this time of sorrow. May Ghana find strength, unity and peace in the midst of this tragedy.
Latin America
Praise God for the third annual Justice Retreat organized in Colombia. Our team is managing logistics for this meaningful event, where survivors of sexual and physical violence will join justice system staff in workshops and activities designed to strengthen community ties and improve support services for victims. Pray that God will grant our team wisdom and strength as they prepare, and that He will ready the hearts of all who will participate.
Asia Pacific
Please continue to pray for God’s intervention in Thailand and Cambodia. Despite the July 28 ceasefire agreement between the two nations, tensions and clashes persist, threatening lives and stability along the border. Pray that both governments will commit to a peaceful resolution, restore safety for affected communities and prevent further escalation.

Samson Inocencio Jr.’s bold message in a CNN op-ed , calling on Big Tech to take urgent action against livestreamed child abuse. His words—rooted in two decades of anti-trafficking work—shine a global spotlight on both the progress made and the critical gaps that remain. Please pray that this message will stir tech leaders, policymakers and communities to act decisively, protecting children and advancing justice worldwide.
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.
