Friends, I write with uncontainable joy. After many long, hard attempts, victim rescue and the lockdown of the slave facility we have been praying about has become a reality. Those of you who have been praying with us for many weeks and months for this specific case, both in person and through this blog, know how long the road has been.

Praise God that:
- key perpetrators in this particularly violent case were arrested this week
- several more girls are now rescued, safe, free, and at rest
- the police executed the plan with us, to perfection
- God alone could have brought all of these events to bear

And yet the battle is not over - these next few days are critical and we need you to pray that no ground will be lost and that key areas of corruption will be rooted out. Pray that God’s presence would be tangibly close with the girls who are rescued. We need you to continue to raise your voice and ask our God to move in His perfect ways of justice.

The director of this South Asia office asks you to “please pray that the floodwaters of relief and rescue would continue to gather, and that the whole dam would soon burst.”
I am sure you sense our cryptic language – because the case is ongoing, there is much we cannot share – but the Holy Spirit will intercede through you in ways beyond any of our words. We thank God for you!

Our God is relentless in His pursuit of justice, our God is relentless to rescue and redeem, our God does not slumber nor sleep, our God hears the cries of the oppressed, hears our cries for their justice, rises to rescue, moves in us through His Holy Spirit, enabling us to be His hands and feet. Praise God!
