"The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners." |

Praise God for a major milestone in Peru as IJM and the Public Prosecutor’s Office signed a cooperation agreement to strengthen victim-centered, trauma-informed investigations through training and technical support.

Praise God for a major breakthrough in Kenya following the tragic 2022 protest where four lives were lost. The court ruled that three police officers will face murder charges and seven others will be charged for obstructing justice. This decision marks a significant step toward accountability and justice for victims of police violence. Pray for an open, fair and swift trial, and for healing for victims and survivors. |

Please pray for children freed from bonded labor slavery who often struggle when returning to school. Many of these kids have missed years of education or never even started, so going back to the classroom can be stressful and scary. Some older kids may have to start in younger grades, which can bring embarrassment. Pray that IJM and our partners can encourage these young survivors to believe in themselves and work hard in school, and that their parents would be supportive of these transitions. |

Please pray for the family of a survivor from IJM Myanmar’s Economic Empowerment initiative who recently passed away. His wife and two children are continuing their small business with support from IJM and their community. Ask God to provide comfort, strength and provision for them as they navigate this difficult season. |
