"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
- Jeremiah 1:5
Africa & Europe
Pray for the IJM Romania team as they conduct joint trainings on victim-centered case management with police officers, attorneys, medical professionals and social service providers. Pray that these trainings would result in survivors of trafficking being better served and supported as they recover from the violence they experienced, and lead to their greater safety and protection.
Latin America
Please pray for the IJM Dominican Republic team as they prepare for the official launch of the Global Survivor Network (GSN) in the Dominican Republic on November 30.
The team has worked alongside survivors since early March to empower them to be leaders of this local GSN branch and in their broader communities. The official launch of the branch, which the participants have decided to call "Cicatrices de oro" or "Golden Scars" in English, will give space to three survivors to share their stories. State authorities have been invited to attend the launch to demonstrate the government’s commitment to support the survivors. Please pray that these survivors sense the power of their stories during this launch, and that government officials would make the commitment to attend.
South Asia
Please pray for protection over IJM’s reputation in South Asia. The process of taking on human trafficking and broken systems brings great challenges and risks daily. Pray that our teams constantly find champions in the government and private sector to advocate for justice and transformation, and for protection from those who benefit from seeing human trafficking prosper.
Southeast Asia
Praise God that IJM partner, Protect Children, wants to pursue further collaboration with IJM! Building on Protect Children’s recent study on Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) users in the dark web, IJM is exploring a joint research opportunity to include the online sexual exploitation of children. Please pray for wisdom in next steps and for a fruitful collaboration in this groundbreaking study!
IJM Global Office & Partners
IJM global office is located in the United States. IJM has Partner Offices in Australia, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, South Korea, Switzerland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom.
Please join us in prayer for our Advocacy Webinar this afternoon. This one-hour online event will focus on equipping constituents and their networks to mobilize around the Central American Women and Children Protection Act. Please pray for attendees as they learn more about advocating on behalf of women and children living in Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador.
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.
