| Please pray for our teams in Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras as they grieve the sudden loss of Orquidia, a courageous survivor and advocate whose life deeply impacted many. Pray for comfort and peace for her loved ones, especially her best friend Mary, and for strength and unity among fellow advocates. May Orquidia’s legacy continue to inspire deeper collaboration between advocates and justice system representatives across the region. |

| Praise God for a courageous grandmother in Uganda who sought justice for her granddaughter Prisca*, leading to a 27-year prison sentence for one of the perpetrators. We thank God for Prisca’s bravery and the trauma-informed care that helped her testify clearly in court. Pray for her continued healing and protection as she receives medical treatment and support from IJM’s aftercare team. |

| Praise God for the rescue of two boys forced to work in a snack shop, and pray for their ongoing recovery. Traffickers lured the 13- and 14-year-old boys across state lines with promises of a good job but instead forced them to work punishing 18-hour days making fried panipuri
snacks in appalling conditions. Our local partner discovered the abuse and alerted authorities, who carefully rescued the boys and brought them to a shelter. Pray for the boys’ recovery as they wait to go home, and pray for officials kickstarting a legal case against the traffickers. |

| Please pray for 14 individuals in Cambodia who were deceived by a fraudulent recruitment agency promising high-paying jobs in South Korea. Each person paid large sums for travel documents only to be stopped at the airport with invalid visas, but they have since received legal support and filed an official complaint. Pray for continued justice, healing and protection for those affected. |
| 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. |
| Please pray for the six runners representing IJM in the New York City Marathon this Sunday, asking God to strengthen their bodies and sustain their endurance through every mile. Pray they’ll meet or exceed their fundraising goals, knowing each dollar helps protect people from violence. We praise God for their courage, commitment and the powerful witness they carry with every step. |
