Every Day Counts
Earlier this week, on the IJM Institute website, the following bulletin for prayer was posted. The focus region is Southeast Asia, which could involve any of our field offices in the Philippines or Cambodia. The work in each of our offices carries the urgency that demands furious prayer. The phrase that struck me below is the reminder that there are women and children being abused "hour by hour, day by day." Whenever I pass by a known establishment here in Cebu, I cannot seem to shake off this notion that someone is going through a living hell right behind those walls.
--------
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
