| Please pray for the family and congregation of Pastor Miguel, who passed away over the weekend following a tragic motorcycle accident in El Salvador.
He leaves behind his wife and young children. Pray that God will bring deep peace and comfort to their hearts as they grieve, and that He will show His care for Miguel’s family in tangible, sustaining ways. Miguel loved the Lord and was one of our partners in bringing hope, justice and transformation to his community. Also, please lift up his uncle, who was riding with him at the time of the accident and is currently in intensive care. Pray for healing, strength and the Lord’s presence to surround him. |

| Praise God for long-awaited justice in Kenya. Bernard, a survivor of police brutality, and his late aunt Janet, who was murdered during the same incident, have finally seen justice served. Two officers were convicted after nearly eight years of relentless pursuit, and their appeal was dismissed last week. Please pray for Bernard’s full healing, for Janet’s memory to be honored with lasting peace, and for their family to be surrounded by comfort. |
| South Asia |
| Praise God for a breakthrough conviction last week after a speedy six-month trial! In this case, IJM helped authorities rescue 13 people (including children and pregnant women) from a sugarcane farm after years of violence and abuse. Trials in South Asia can often take over five years, but local officials championed this case to prosecute the farm owner quickly. Pray that the news of this conviction will be an encouragement to the survivors as they rebuild life in freedom. |

| Please pray for our advocacy teams in the Philippines as they work to combat the online sexual exploitation of children (OSEC). Equipped with new findings from the eSafety Commissioner, they are engaging the tech sector with evidence exposing its continued failure to confront livestreamed abuse. Pray for wisdom, courage and breakthrough as they seek justice and systemic change. |
| 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, Singapore, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. |
| We praise God for the official launch of IJM’s newest office in Bangladesh, a significant step forward in the fight to protect vulnerable children. Please continue to pray that God would move powerfully in this region, opening doors for deep collaboration with local government and justice system leaders. Pray for wisdom and lasting impact as our team continues this important work. |
