| Praise God for the incredible leadership and faithful service of Wibunrat Ladaphongpattana, IJM Thailand’s Head of Legal and Survivor Services, who was honored by a Deputy Minister on National Anti-Human Trafficking Day for her outstanding work.
Her two decades of dedication have helped transform Thailand’s anti-trafficking systems through trauma-informed care, survivor-centered policy and collaborative government partnerships. Please join us in thanking God for Wibunrat and praying for continued strength and wisdom for her and her team as they pursue justice and restoration for survivors. |

| We praise God for the courage and resilience of Nyota*, a young survivor in Mombasa, Kenya, who bravely testified against her abuser, leading to his conviction and a 20-year prison sentence. Please join us in praying for Nyota’s continued healing and restoration, for her dreams to flourish as she pursues a career in hairdressing, and for strength and perseverance for our IJM Mombasa team as they confront the heartbreaking prevalence of such cases. May God continue to bring justice and hope to the most vulnerable. |

| Praise God for the training of community leaders in Guatemala! With support from IJM, our partner AMG conducted a training program that equipped participants with the tools to support victims of physical and sexual violence in their communities. Local county leaders attended the event to celebrate the completion of the course and to encourage these newly trained leaders to help survivors access medical care and justice services available in their areas. Please pray that God will use these local leaders to help prevent violence against women and children.

| Please pray for a teen boy rescued late last week from bonded labor slavery at a duck farm. Vulnerable after his parents' divorce, this boy was lured to the duck farm, forced to work long hours for five months, and controlled with frequent violence. With God’s leading, IJM found him, supported authorities in his rescue, and saw two suspects arrested for his abuse. Please pray for his short-term recovery, and praise God for the trained officials who led this case with sensitivity and precision. |

| This week we commemorated World Day Against Child Labor, and we lift our voices in prayer for the millions of children trapped in exploitation and forced labor. We pray for their rescue, restoration and protection—and for strengthened global resolve to end these injustices. May God empower our partners, supporters and teams around the world to bring lasting freedom and safety to every child. |
