“Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.”
- Colossians 3:12
Africa & Europe
Pray for the IJM Kenya team as this week marked five years since the murder of our colleague, Willie; his client, Josephat; and their driver, Joseph. The four police officers and one civilian charged in the case are still on trial. Pray for the family members of the three men as they grieve. Pray also for the incoming Chief Justice who has pledged to reduce the amount of time that trials in Kenya take before concluding.
Latin America
Praise God for the opportunity to walk with nearly 40 survivors of violence across the Latin America region as they participated in IJM’s first-ever “Public Narrative: Advocacy and the Power of Story” training. Without a doubt, survivors bring a uniquely powerful and credible voice in calling those in power to action. In this training, survivors from Bolivia, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador and Guatemala gathered virtually to learn a new storytelling structure to use in public settings and are now empowered to harness their own stories in the service of leading others to action. Pray for these survivors as they apply what they learned and call on different actors in their communities to stand up to protect the most vulnerable.
South Asia
Praise God for a rescue operation this week that freed a young family (including 4 children) from bonded labor. One of our partners first discovered the 11-year-old son being forced to work at a sheep farm, and then by interviewing him learned that the whole family was in bondage at a nearby brick kiln. Many families like theirs are being left vulnerable due to the COVID-19 pandemic and lack of dignified work. Pray for IJM and our partners as we protect other vulnerable communities, and pray for this family as they begin recovering in freedom.
Southeast Asia
Please pray for the IJM Malaysia team as they work to schedule meetings with key government partners. Pray specifically for positive discussions that swiftly lead to plans to take action.
IJM HQ & Global Partners
IJM global headquarters is located in the United
States. IJM has Partner Offices in Australia, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, South Korea, Switzerland, the

Race to Rescue is this weekend and is already off to a great start! Pray for joyful participation and safety for everyone racing. Also pray for great fellowship among those who have formed teams and are racing together. And pray that through this event and the sacrificial efforts of all our racers, more people will learn about IJM's mission and be moved to join the fight to end trafficking and slavery.
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.
