| "But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted; you consider their grief and take it in hand. The victims commit themselves to you; you are the helper of the fatherless." |
| – Psalm 10:14 |
| Africa & Europe |
| Please join us in prayerful remembrance of Willie Kimani, Joseph Muiruri, Josephat Mwenda and Dorothy Acen—whose lives were taken by violence in Kenya and Uganda—and whose legacies continue to inspire the pursuit of justice. We lift up all who are working to end police abuse of power and domestic violence across the region, and we ask for strength, protection and breakthrough in their efforts. May God bring comfort to grieving families, justice for victims and lasting reform to systems that should protect vulnerable individuals. |

| Praise God for the inauguration of a specialized pavilion for survivors of sexual violence at a hospital in northern Colombia. IJM supported the hospital in creating this space by providing technology, furniture, staff training and trauma-informed guidance to ensure the environment is welcoming and dignified for women and children. This pavilion will not only enhance the care provided to survivors but also play a critical role in the timely and secure collection of forensic evidence for criminal investigations. |

| Please pray for an upcoming anti-trafficking conference we are planning with a strategic state government. We are thrilled to be partnering with their Women and Child Development Department to identify challenges and strategies with key local and international guests. These conferences are huge undertakings, but also a great way to prove credibility for IJM and our partners. Pray for all the details—big and small—and for a profound impact in the anti-trafficking space. |

| Praise God for the opportunity IJM Malaysia had to speak at the ASEAN Meeting on Countering People Smuggling and Related Transnational Crime. Field Office Director Ji Lien Ooi was able to highlight the power of survivor-led, collaborative efforts in combating human trafficking. Please pray for continued wisdom and strengthened partnerships as IJM works with governments and communities across Southeast Asia to build sustainable systems of protection and justice. |

| The IJM global office is located in the United States. IJM has Partner Offices in Australia, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, South Korea, Switzerland, Singapore, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. |
| Praise God for the powerful witness of our CEO Gary Haugen on the Russell Moore Show, where his words stirred a deeper longing for justice rooted in the heart of God. We thank God for leaders who carry both courage and compassion into the darkest places. May the church be awakened and emboldened to follow Christ into the work of justice with humility, wisdom and hope. |
