Praise God for the incredible breakthrough in Cambodia, where a long delayed Memorandum of Understanding was finally signed after months of shifting processes and uncertainty. Praise God for the perseverance and leadership support that carried the team through every obstacle. We are grateful for this answered prayer and for the many partners who helped make this milestone possible, allowing us to complete casework to protect migrant workers. |

Africa & Europe |
|
We praise God for the courage of a survivor, Lydia, in northern Uganda and for the survivor leaders of the Uganda Survivor Network who helped ensure her case was brought to IJM for support. After years of violence and stalled responses, the perpetrator was finally arrested, prosecuted and convicted of assault, allowing Lydia to take meaningful steps toward restoration. Pray for continued strength and healing for Lydia and her daughter, and for all survivor leaders who are guiding victims toward justice and protection in their communities. |

Praise God for the growing partnership between IJM and Compassion International in El Salvador as both teams take meaningful steps to protect women and children. These teams had the opportunity to adapt the "God’s Character Towards Injustice" training for adolescents and to equip new church leaders who will multiply this training across their communities. Pray for wisdom, protection and unity as leaders and youth step into these next phases with courage and hope. |

South Asia |
|
Please pray for some major advocacy events coming up next week in South Asia. We are honoring 50 years of a crucial anti-slavery law, and we hope this commemoration inspires more leaders to join the fight. Pray for our frontlines staff as they finalize key events, media campaigns and relationships with government officials. Pray for a strong message celebrating South Asia’s progress on combatting slavery and a renewed vision for protecting millions more people. |

Praise God that individuals of influence are beginning to understand that lasting solutions to poverty require safety and strong justice systems, not just economic opportunity. Recently, Howard Buffett reflected on Gary Haugen’s words
— that people cannot thrive without rule of law — and how this insight is shaping the way philanthropists think about impact. Pray that this clarity continues to spread so more people invest in building communities where everyone can live safely. | |
