We need you to act now:

Calling on you once again to join us in prayer.
We have uncovered a location (specifics must be withheld for now) where several dozen women and children are being held and offered for sale. It is a large, professionally-run facility but we have been able to infiltrate and gather most of the evidence needed to compell the authorities to move forward with an operation.

There are several significant barriers looming and we need your prayers beseeching our God of justice to break them down.

Every day counts. Here is how you can be praying:

- Pray that the local police are successful in obtaining the final piece of evidence necessary to move to the next phase of this operation
- Pray for the authority figures who has are responsible for moving the operation forward from start to finish - pray that they will act decisively and with courage
- Pray that no critical information is leaked, and that those running the facility do not grow suspicious of the impending operation
- Pray for the women and children who are being abused hour by hour, day by day - that God’s presence would be known to them, that they would enter a new life of healing and restoration
- Pray that this case would be a landmark, a precedent-setting victory in this nation
- Pray for the perpetrators - that the Holy Spirit would bring conviction to their hearts, a ceasing of their abuses, and vision for a new way to live
- Pray for wisdom, clarity, and strength for our staff in this country

praying fervently and expectantly

God I pray that you would rescue these women and girls from the abuse they are suffering.  I ask that you hold accountable their abusers.  I ask that you empower the IJM team with your Holy Spirit so that these girls can be rescued.  Lord work in the hearts of the government and police authorities involved so that they will be able to get these girls out and catch the people involved in holding them captive.

Abba father, I know you hear the cries for help from these ladies and children that are suffering abuse and violence. Please rise up O God and let your enemies be scattered, may your foes flee before you! God of Justice, break down every barrier that is holding this operation back. Break even the hearts of these captors that they may come to know your love and the healing of repentance! Be glorified in your rescue of these dear people! Amen!
