1 Day-Old Baby Among Laborers

Friends - we beseech you to join us in praying for an operation that is underway in South Asia.
Today our staff, in cooperation with the local police, were able to bring many laborers out of a slavery facility. One of the laborers was a woman who had been forced to work up to the moment of delivering her baby (without a doctor - the owner refused), and then forced to continue work immediately following. She was unable even to pause to bathe her newborn or to get food for herself.

Today, the day of this rescue, the baby is 1 day old.

Please pray that justice will be won as our staff works to secure official release documentation for each of these laborers, protecting them for permanent freedom.

Pray that justice will be swift and that the laborers will feel and be safe and secure in their freedom.

Pray for this little baby, this new life - pray for God’s protection and perfect provision.

And praise God for His deliverance!

We are completely dependent upon your partnership in prayer and so grateful for you.
Feel free to leave a note in the comments, or a prayer, encouraging the staff, the freed laborers, and the family of this little newborn baby.
