Update on S. Asia Trafficking Rescue

Thank you for your prayers for our team in South Asia. The initial raid was delayed due to detracting circumstances in the target city, but we just received word from the field that the raid is now going forward.

Again, for this particular South Asian city, this is the largest raid we (in conjunction with the local authorities, as is our policy) have attempted to date. We have confirmed 6 young girls in the brothel and believe there may be more who are verifiably minors. Please pray for the safety of our staff as they move forward with the authorities. Please pray for the girls who are awaiting rescue. Please pray for the aftercare home that will provide safety and healing for these girls in the days to come. And please pray that the authorities will be successful in securing arrest and conviction of the perpetrators.

We are so grateful for your partnership in prayer.

If you and those you lead have been joining us in prayer, please do let us know - it is a great encouragement!
