"The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."
- Deuteronomy 31:8
Africa & Europe
Praise God for the launch of the GSN chapter in Uganda which will strengthen our work with survivors. Pray specifically that we can find a good partner in the church for the provision of shelter to those in need. We also pray that we can find partners to work with survivor groups on livelihood training and support.
Latin America
Praise God for the opportunity to renew our interinstitutional agreement with the Guatemala National Police. Through this agreement, our team in Guatemala will continue to provide technical support with the shared goal to improve suspect identification and ultimately protect women and children from violence.
South Asia
Please pray for more opportunities to train local officials in new places where IJM is working. Most government officials are generally aware of the issues of bonded labor slavery and human trafficking, but they are often unclear on their specific roles when a case comes up. Please pray that the government would see IJM as a trusted partner who can help improve their knowledge and skills.
Asia Pacific
Praise God for a successful Philippine Survivor Network external launch! The Philippine Survivor Network will lead the movement to protect children from online exploitation. Please pray for each survivor leader as they share their unique and powerful experiences and seek to create a world that is safer for kids. The event was even featured in
a local news article in Manila!
IJM Global Office & Partners
The 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.
Praise God for the opportunity for thousands of people to learn about IJM for the first time through IJM’s presence at the Super Bowl! Through social media campaigns, media interviews and in-person engagements, IJM representatives and partners were able to share about IJM’s mission to protect half a billion people worldwide. Please join us in praying that God will stir in the hearts of those individuals to become more engaged with our work.
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.
