"Lord, be gracious to us; we long for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of distress."
- Isaiah 33:2
Africa & Europe
-
In 2018, a businesswoman was shot by police officers at a park in Nairobi, Kenya. IJM represented the victim during the court case against the police, and this week the officers were found guilty of manslaughter. Praise God for this conviction that sends a message to the public and to other police officers that those with power will not be able to use it as a shield and will be held accountable in court for their abuses.Latin America
- Praise God for an opportunity to sign an inter-institutional agreement to train judges, prosecutors and police on how to best address trafficking in the Dominican Republic. This unique opportunity will allow large-scale workshops to be held and will create long-term impact. Pray for the pilot classes and for the hundreds of survivors who will later be served by these trained officials in a more effective and trauma-informed way.
South Asia
- Please continue to pray for God's intervention in South Asia, and especially for the safety of survivors of bonded labor and their communities during the COVID surge. As the pandemic spreads from crowded cities to rural areas, local hospitals are quickly becoming overwhelmed and resources are dwindling. In many small towns and villages, healthcare workers are not trained for the type of complicated care COVID patients require. Pray for protection over the survivors we serve — many of whom are only beginning to rebuild secure and safe lives in freedom. Pray for protection over the survivors we serve, many of whom are only beginning to rebuild secure and safe lives in freedom.
Southeast Asia
- Please pray over the preparations for IJM Philippines' activities and events taking place in the next few weeks and months. Please pray especially for strong attendance and a fruitful gathering for a Virtual Foster Care Forum, the external launch of National Aftercare Department Research, and a Manila Prayer Gathering.
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.
- Please pray for our expanding teams in the NA region. Pray that God will provide people perfectly suited to the open roles who will help us continue to fulfill IJM's mission. Pray for those individuals who have recently joined our wonderful team to feel a sense of peace and understanding as they begin their work to help bring an end to slavery in our lifetime.
The updates we share on survivors or their cases can become sensitive over time. To respect and protect them, please refrain from posting these prayer requests online.
