One of the rotating themes we will be featuring here at the IJM Institute is a weekly prayer focus.  If you are already an IJM Prayer Partner you receive an email each Thursday detailing our requests for prayer related to each of our 16 Field Offices as well as our Headquarters here in DC. We so appreciate your partnership in prayer with us - it is truly the way that we are sustained in this work.  We daily experience God answering your prayers for our clients, staff, and global justice ministry as a whole in ways beyond what we even hope for.  If you are not yet a Prayer Partner with IJM, you can sign-up for this Institute program here on IJM’s home website.

This week, we deeply appreciate your prayers for our Justice Operations division as they complete what we call “Lawyer’s Week.” About 100 IJM attorneys and other field staff have gathered in one location this week for two purposes: 

1) To sharpen their litigation (trial advocacy) skills by training with top litigators who have flown-in and are volunteering their time and expertise
2) To experience spiritual nourishment, refreshment, and growth -- individually and as a team, through disciplines of rest and reflection

Would you join me in praying for our brothers and sisters on the Justice Ops team as they close out their time together, travel home (to over a dozen different countries), and continue their dedication to rescuing and securing justice for the oppressed?
