This Month's Prayer Points and Updates
- Shifting Trafficking Routes and High-Risk Patterns: Trafficking patterns continue to shift across regions, including a concerning trend of teenage girls being trafficked toward Gulf states. Please pray for discernment as teams adapt and respond, and ask that these networks would be exposed and disrupted.
- Protection of Vulnerable Individuals: Teams are identifying a high number of minors—including very young children—in trafficking situations. Please pray for their protection, that they would be placed in safe environments, and that staff would have wisdom and discernment as they intervene in complex cases.
- Kolkata Team – India: Please pray for the team serving at Howrah Station, a high-traffic location where many vulnerable individuals are identified. While the team continues to see strong intercept activity, there have been challenges in seeing arrests, even in high-evidence cases. Pray for justice, that cases would lead to arrests, and for encouragement and perseverance for the team. Several staff members and their families are also facing sickness and serious health challenges—please pray for healing, strength, and restoration.
- Expansion and Justice in Benin: We thank God for a new opportunity to expand monitoring through a partnership with a transport company, increasing access to vulnerable individuals. We also praise God for progress in an ongoing investigation, including the recent arrest of a suspect. Please pray for continued wisdom, protection for victims, and that this case would lead to lasting justice.
- Justice and Legal Progress: We thank God for recent arrests and ongoing investigations in multiple countries. Please pray that traffickers would be held accountable and that legal processes would lead to lasting justice. Ask for courage and protection for staff working closely with law enforcement.
- SEE Exams in Nepal: All Grade 10 students across Nepal are beginning their SEE exams this week, a significant milestone that shapes future educational paths. Please pray especially for the children in our homes—that they would have peace, clarity, and confidence as they prepare and take these exams.
- Upcoming Event and Growing Partnerships: Please pray for the upcoming Intercept Partner virtual event, that people would respond and be encouraged by what God is doing. We are also grateful for new connections—pray these would grow into meaningful, lasting partnerships that strengthen and expand the work.
- Family Homes – Nepal: Please pray for the family and children impacted by the recent passing of the home father in Nepal. Ask that they would experience God’s comfort, peace, and stability during this time of grief.

We have developed both a prayer list and a prayer card to guide you in your prayers for our work. Both resources are perfect tools to print and use during your prayer times. The prayer guide and the prayer card below are organized into specific headings that outline the key areas we constantly need assistance in. You can read the prayers associated with each heading, or you can pray into the headings as you feel led. In the prayer guide, each heading prays through specific Scripture passages (highlighted in italics), giving us confidence that what we ask for is in line with the will of God.
Thank you for your prayers that we know have fueled our successes and impact. God has been good to us! Join us in celebrating the answered prayers listed above.
