"I will plant her for myself in the land; I will show my love to the one I called 'Not my loved one.' I will say to those called, 'Not my people,' 'You are my people'; and they will say, 'You are my God.'"
- Hosea 2:23
Africa & Europe
Pray for a change of heart in would-be perpetrators of violence against women and children in Uganda. Pray that successful prosecutions of abusive people would be seen and the warning heeded that women and children will be protected by the law and government of Uganda.
Latin America
Join the Bolivia team in praying for their casework volunteer networks, the AVES & PROBOS program and the Catholic University of Bolivia’s Legal Clinic. The team has trained and accompanied these groups who have volunteered to manage casework for victims of violence until their cases arrive at a sentence. The team’s prayer is that these volunteers would experience grace, patience, and hope that will encourage them to persevere through the complications and delays in the justice system due to COVID-19.
South Asia
Please pray for legal cases still moving slowly through the local courts. Most of our courts were closed or restricted during the peaks of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has delayed many anti-trafficking trials. These courts are now reopening, but with a huge backlog of cases. Please pray for diligent follow-through in these courts so that survivors can get justice swiftly and sensitively.
Southeast Asia
Praise God for the successful soft opening of the new IJM office for Manila-based staff! Please pray that God will sustain our staff as they manage heavy caseloads. Pray that they will adjust to the new office location well and for joy as they get back into the rhythm of going into the office.
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 pray for the upcoming Global Prayer Gathering event taking place April 29-30 in Baltimore. As mentioned last week, our teams are hard at work planning a weekend full of worship, prayer and community for IJM staff and supporters around the globe. Learn more about this event and how you can get involved here.
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.
