"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of others."
- Philippians 2:3-4
Africa & Europe
Please pray for witnesses in cases of violence against women and children in Uganda. Oftentimes witnesses are hesitant to come forward for fear of security or issues of witness intimidation. To mitigate this, IJM works with partners to trace the witnesses and provide support, and ultimately encourage witnesses to testify to bring justice for the victims. Join us in praying for strength for these individuals, and for justice to prevail in open cases.
Latin America
Please pray for staff and contractors that come into contact daily with survivor stories. Working regularly with stories of violence can cause secondhand trauma for our workers. We are praying for protection for their minds and hearts, and that they would be encouraged to access resources that IJM makes available to them for their mental wellbeing.
South Asia
Please pray for relief for the intense heat wave hitting South Asia. Some cities are regularly hitting 120 degrees every day. Heat like this can cause farms and other businesses to fail, which leaves families desperate and more vulnerable to human trafficking or debt bondage. Pray for protection over these families and for quick, cooling relief to come soon.
Southeast Asia
Praise God for continued awareness of the online sexual exploitation of children in the Philippines! BBC World Service released a radio feature that included the story of Ruby, a survivor of online sexual exploitation, who was rescued by the collaborative effort of IJM and the Philippine authorities. Pray that the Lord uses this outlet to bring awareness of this issue and to build an army of people to fight for the rights of the victims.
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 two upcoming Drive for Freedom events hosted by Topgolf and the Minnesota Vikings. These events will take place in Minneapolis on May 16 and San Jose on May 19, and they will be attended by IJM Team Freedom Champions Kirk Cousins and Jordan Hicks. Pray that these nights will be full of fun, friendly competition and engaging conversations about IJM’s work around the globe.
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.
