"But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Saviour from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body."
- Philippians 3:20-21
Africa & Europe
- Pray as the trial for the murders of IJM's staff member, client and hired driver proceeds on Monday in Kenya. Willie, Joseph and Josephat were abducted after a court hearing in June 2016, and found dead days later. Four police officers and one civilian are still on trial as the case has proceeded with multiple delays over nearly five years. Pray for the case to proceed without delay, and for comfort for the victims' families as they await justice.
Latin America
- Praise God for an open door to work alongside the Salvadoran Supreme Court to strengthen their work. Through an interinstitutional agreement, IJM El Salvador and the Supreme Court will collaborate to improve access to justice for victims of violence. Please pray for continued good communication and coordination as we move forward with this partnership.
South Asia
- Please pray for a sense of renewed resolve amongst government officials who handle cases of bonded labor slavery in South Asia. In many recent cases, we have seen these officials do a good job bringing victims out of abusive worksites — but then ultimately fail to classify these cases as bonded labor. This means slave holders and traffickers won't be held accountable, and it minimizes the types of care that will be granted to survivors. Please pray officials will find a renewed passion for these cases, a commitment to the law and a fearlessness to hold suspected perpetrators accountable so they cannot enslave others.
Southeast Asia
- Pray for breakthrough in cases of online sexual exploitation of children in the Philippines. Please pray specifically for cases being investigated, that IJM and law enforcement partners would be able to gather the information they need to bring swift rescue and arrest.
IJM HQ & Global Partners
IJM global headquarters is located in the United States. IJM has Partner Offices in Australia, Canada, Germany, South Korea, Switzerland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the US.

Beginning in May 2020, we asked for you to pray with us for the US Congress to pass the Central America Women and Children Protection Act. The legislation would have helped resource and strengthen Central American public justice systems to protect women and girls. Although we were discouraged to see the bill fail to move through the Senate Foreign Relations Committee at the end of the year, we want to praise God and share with you that there is $25 million in new funding for programs to combat sexual and gender-based violence in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador in the 2021 appropriations bill. We hold fast to the truth that, in the hands of God, nothing is ever wasted.
As we enter a new year with a new administration and a new Congress, please pray for our

ongoing advocacy campaign : that many of our supporters in the US would petition their representatives and ensure strong Congressional support for anti-trafficking efforts.
