| We thank God for the success of Ghana’s fifth National Justice Conference. The event also marked IJM Ghana’s 10th anniversary and brought together justice system leaders, community advocates and Global Survivor Network champions. We’re especially grateful for the powerful contributions from survivors and the inspiring unity among partners in the fight against human trafficking. Please pray for continued momentum, deeper collaboration and lasting impact across Ghana’s justice system. |

| Praise God for the training of nearly 400 police officers in Peru! These officers, who specialize in responding to violence against women and families, received tools and instruction to better understand and apply national laws that protect victims, ensure justice, and prevent further harm through coordinated responses. IJM Peru provided technical support for the sessions. Please pray that God will use this and future trainings to protect women and children from sexual and physical violence. |

| Pray for IJM’s team supporting a 15-year-old boy who was badly abused in forced labor at a farm. He was forced to work long hours far away from his family, until he badly injured his arm and was sent away by the farm owners. He tried walking hundreds of kilometers home until local schoolteachers found him and brought him to safety. Sadly, his arm had to be amputated. Today, IJM is supporting this boy and his family as they seek justice in his case and search for other children who may have been exploited. Please pray for his healing and recovery. |

| Praise God for a big step forward for our cross-border trafficking teams in Thailand and Myanmar. At the 32nd Thailand–Myanmar Bilateral Meeting, both governments agreed to adopt IJM’s Assessment of Survivor Outcomes (ASO) tool as part of their official procedures for managing cross-border human trafficking cases. This marks a major advance in survivor care. Please pray for our team as they support the Thai government in implementing this update. |

| Please pray for the hearts of every attendee preparing to meet with their representatives at IJM’s upcoming Advocacy Summit in D.C. Pray that God would go before each conversation, opening doors for justice and softening hearts to hear the stories of those IJM serves. May this event spark lasting change, led by advocates deeply committed to seeing justice prevail. |
