Pray for a major event taking place in Ghana this weekend—the Arise Conference—bringing partners, guest speakers and performers together to advocate for victims of trafficking. Several high-level government officials have agreed to come, as well as various popular Christian artists. Pray that this event, including a concert on Sunday, will be a building block for future advocacy with churches and partners.

Please pray for the IJM team in the Dominican Republic as they search for a strategic partner.
Over the past several years, IJM Dominican Republic has built and led a Service Provider Network, which connects and encourages collaboration between many of the community-led organizations in the Dominican Republic that provide services for survivors of trafficking, such as aftercare. In the name of sustainability and empowering the local community, IJM Dominican Republic is searching for a partner that will assume the responsibility of growing, maintaining and leading this network.

Please pray for several IJM studies that are assessing our impact in combating human trafficking over the last 20 years.
We have just completed one critical piece, which looks at the improved performance of the justice system in one of our project areas. Please pray for other studies starting in the next few weeks, which look at how the prevalence of sex trafficking and bonded labor has changed through IJM’s work. Pray for safety for the study team as they investigate these trends and that their work will be completed on time. Pray that these studies would powerfully articulate the impact of our work in protecting vulnerable communities through stronger justice systems.

Praise God that our Advancement Office in Hong Kong is officially a registered entity! After over two years of prayers and hard work, IJM Hong Kong is officially established and able to further their fundraising work. Please pray for our small but mighty team of three as they continue to raise awareness and funds while also navigating logistics of opening a bank account, setting up a website and cultivating key partnerships!
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 praying for our fundraising efforts in November and December to close out the calendar year. Pray that the work of our teams would lead to exceeded goals, and that individual hearts would be moved to support the mission of IJM as we close out 2021.
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.
