| "It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure." |
| – 2 Samuel 22:33 |
| South Asia |
| We give glory to God for the rescue of three generations from an abusive brick kiln: a father, his son and three young grandchildren. They had been trapped in bondage for 10 years before local officials heard their cries and brought them to safety. Praise God for their first days of freedom, and please pray for their continued recovery, health and comfort. |
| Africa & Europe |
| We praise God for justice served after seven years in a heartbreaking child abuse case in Kenya, and for the courage of a young survivor who testified twice, helping convict two perpetrators. Join us in prayer for her continued healing as she receives therapy, returns to school and rebuilds her life with the support of our team in Mombasa. Please also pray for her mother, who has been a steady source of comfort and strength since 2019 despite facing significant personal challenges. |

| Praise God for the successful completion of a trip to Peru, where several staff members joined a producer to interview our partners and survivors in three different locations.
The team went to Lima, the jungle and the Andean regions, where they interviewed two Colonels and several survivors. We thank the Lord for the opportunity to amplify the voices of those who have experienced sexual or physical violence, and for the visual material gathered to help our program supporters see the impact they are making in these survivors’ lives. Please pray for blessings on the more than 25 children and over 15 women who participated in the videos and interviews. |

| We are grateful for the successful completion of the third cohort of Prosecuting Online Sexual Exploitation of Children (POSE) Fundamentals Training.
This program equips prosecutors and law enforcement officers to respond to online sexual exploitation of children using trauma-informed, child-protective strategies. Join us in prayer for the 153 frontliners trained since 2024, that they would carry out their work with courage, wisdom and compassion. Pray that their efforts would lead to justice for survivors and greater protection for children vulnerable to exploitation in the digital space. |
| 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 another year of Dressember starting and for the opportunity to stand against human trafficking through advocacy and awareness. Join us in prayer for those who register for the 2025 campaign, that they will be bold, creative and effective in their efforts. Pray that their advocacy would lead to real impact and lasting change for those vulnerable to exploitation.
