from my friends at the international justice mission:
?Please pray for our team in South Asia as they execute an operation on a large brothel today. Pray for continued good cooperation with the police and safety for our staff as they enter an especially dangerous situation. Pray that the girls would be rescued quickly as they are currently suffering very violent treatment.?
read more. think twice today.
sponsor a child
donate some shoes
and pray.
today, the world has been heavy on my heart. as i pick up my soon-to-be spoiled bananas, throw away my grocery receipts, hang up my dry cleaning, and get ready to eat overpriced airport food…i am constantly reminded the world is broken, yet in its disparity, has potential for so much hope…

praying for this right now… enjoy Zondervan…
thank you for the reminder of how big the world really is. i am praying. i love you. be safe in your travels.
great piece in ESA’s PRISM magazine this month on answering the question, “What can I do besides pray?” the author attacks the assumption that prayer isn’t “doing something.” thanks for doing something.
Praying
Thanks for the reminder. I spent alot of time yesterday pondering the connection between our worship and our concern for the world. This post hits home in a fresh way. Be blessed as you travel. May God go with you and in your travels may you encounter Him in fresh ways and unexpected places. I am praying.
Thanks for bringing this to the eyes of us who would rather ignore this or WISH it would go away.
Anne – thank you SO much for posting this and to all who’ve commented, THANK YOU for praying. Please continue to pray as there is major roadblock that only the Lord can move right now…
And to Jan Owen – have you read Mark Labberton’s book on justice and worship? Called “The Dangerous Act of Worship.” Totally phenomenal.
And to Jeff – thank you so much for resonating with that article and for praying (I wrote that and so hope people are moved to more truly pray, even as they also daily act in tangible ways…)
My cousin worked with/for IJM for quite some time – what an incredible organization. The stories he told of the rescue missions and conditions are hard to fathom.
umm…I think IJM does not want the prayer requests to be public, until they have successfully been acted upon. You know, so there is no chance of the wrong persons getting a heads-up.
Hey Melinda, no worries. IJM posted this on their website and Bethany (comment 7) works for IJM. Thanks for the concern though.
Oh my, sweet Jesus. I’m praying that these girls were protected and are being kept safe.
I was just in Cambodia this past July for this very issue with World Hope International. Although the realities of this crime are horrendous, I was encouraged by the collaborative effort put forth by the NGO’s, many faith-based, to eradicate this injustice at every level. I was impressed with the heart and mission of IJM in Cambodia.
I pray on a regular basis for rescued girls. Only Jesus can restore and heal!
Anne, thanks for turning us on about these things. One of my favorite things about your blog is that it informs me of things that really matter, things no one else is bothering to talk about. I decided to do a research paper on human trafficking so I can know more about it and how we can take action.

can u advise me as to how to go about it.
Pls pray Pls pray Pls pray Pls pray Pls pray
i would request u to place this email on the lord’s lotus feet .pls help me & my request.
my family will remain ever gratefullest for this help.?
?
i am writing this mail with a very heavy heart & pain, pls excuse me if i am doing wrong.
?
i am hsrinivasa residing @ mathikere, bangalore, India. i am a normal devotee
?
sir i & my family (myself h srinivasan, my wife sharada & my daughter geetha) are in deep trouble, i.e., by my father asking us to vacate the house.. in fact i personally nor my family has any grudge against any of their family members.
we were really happy family with whatever we were earning.,in fact my brothers family are jealous on us since we were living a good living all with grace of lord.
?
my father an ex-service man form air force who is aged about 86 yrs. has a property 30 x 40 site in which he has constructed two outhouses, after my marriage we were separated for almost 25 yrs, by the grace of lord. just 3 yrs back he called us back telling that a portion which was rented has got vacated and that if i liked i can accommodate in that house,
?
in the other house my father along with my brother h krishnamurthy, his wife satyawati, son asharay?are residing, my brother’s wife is a very jealous in fact a poisonous lady, she has managed to brainwash my father for selling the property (on asking some astrologer they said that she has given him to eat something which was mixed with cruel poisonous stuff for changing intentions), she is a such a lady that she? created problem for water in the house, & even today she & my brother are continuously mentally torturing & harassing us by passing unwarranted remarks, shutting the doors on our face when ever we pass by. it is this lady courtesy we are almost on street today?& begging for rented house with other am not sure where this will end. in fact we have made up our intention to go in for a suicide pact & let them enjoy the future life.
?
now my father is bent upon selling the property, come what may i am not going to budge to anybody is his present attitude.
on 1st nov 2008?he came & knocked our house door and said that he is?selling the property, & that i should vacate the place, in a fit of rage, anger i told me what does he mean by asking us to vacate the place. for that he said that he has an alternate, and latter telling?that? i don’t deserve it.
?
i now request u to place a prayer at the lords feet so that my father?& my brother’s family changes or reverses his decision or his mind & ask us to continue in the same small house.
since 1 nov 08 my family is hell upset on these developments, – undergoing endless mental torture (we r not able to pray, eat or sleep).
beside my father at this ripe age weather he is doing the right or wrong i don’t know. one for sure my brothers family after getting the money they will ditch him. i don’t want this to happen.
?
my prayer is that let good sense prevail on my father, & my brother’s family & let lord give him good sense & mind to reverse the present thought of selling & retain us in the same place. PRESENTLY MY FAMILY’S LIFE IS IN RUINS.
?
sir could your good selves guide me on our future’
?
sir i am also 55 yrs of age WITH A MEAGER EARNING OF Rs. 12,000 pm, my daughter is also 21, my wife has BP, for all practical purpose it would become difficult for me to stay in a rented house – pay rent, take loan for marriage, repayment stuffs like that. literally speaking i am not having any money with me. even to pay advance for a rented house i have to borrow money with outside sources, it would become really difficult to lead a simple life. in fact we were going in for a suicide pact. we r really messed up.
?
we still hope lord will listen to our voice & grace his solace on us
?
pls help us by placing this prayer request at lord lotus feet.
kindly help us so that our prayer reaches the lord
?
my prayer is that let good sense prevail on my father, & my brother’s family & let lord give him good sense & mind to reverse the present thought of selling & retain us in the same place.
?
kindly help us, KINDLY TAKE PITY ON US BY SUBMITTING MY PRAYER TO lord
MY FAMILY HAS NOT TROUBLED ANYBODY NOR CHEATED ANYBODY AS ON TODAY BUT WHY THIS EXAMINATION ON US. KINDLY GIVE US A MANTRA BY RECITING THE SAME AT LEAST OUR MENTAL IMBALANCES ARE STABLE
?
Thanx & Regards

Please, remember Shule and me in prayer for a relationship miracle for us both, that we be reconciled for the glory of God, THAT GOD WILL BRING OUR RELATIONSHIP TOGETHER AS A MARRIED COUPLE, THAT HE WILL BLESS OUR REUNITING AND THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO RAISE OUR FAMILY IN GODLY FEAR.
May God draw us both closer to Himself, and that we can have a loving relationship with God and each other. May His perfect will be done for us.
SOMETIME IT TAKES THE SEPARATING TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE MEANT FOR ONE ANOTHER, SO please PRAY THAT GOD WILL QUICKEN SHULE’S SPIRIT AND OPEN HIS HEART FOR HIS LOVE FOR YOU. FATHER GOD SO THAT THIS WILL BE WHAT YOU HAVE COMMANDED, PRAY THAT YOU WILL UNITE US IN LOVE, PRAY THAT THERE IS NO OTHER INVOLVEMENT. THAT US, TWO INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE LOST THEIR WAY FROM ONE ANOTHER, AND THAT YOU HAVE ORDAINED US TO BE ONE
Please pray for a restoration of the relationship and that it become the relationship that God wants it to be. May He open up the lines of communication so that He is honored by the peace and love between Shule and me. May I be open to hear how God wants me to act and speak to Shule. May the relationship be a blessing to us both. May He be between Shule and me, filtering every word, every action, every thought.
Please, agree in prayer that our relationship is restored in a Godly way. That we be able to each speak Truth to one another in love. That God will greatly direct and guide us and that most of all we will know His great love for us. May the Lord bless us with children and with a peaceful home.
Also, please, hold Shule before You and ask that You draw near to him so that he becomes aware of Your Presence too. Let this time apart be a time of healing and renewal. Cause him to desire a reconciliation and make contact with me.
Lord, please restore the relationship between Shule and me, making stronger than it ever was before. Let our relationship grow, with You as it’s solid foundation. Strengthen the communication between us and hold us in Your Love and care, leading them towards marriage and a lifelong commitment. Bless us with many healthy children, who will grow up knowing You.
Please, ask the Lord to move in miraculous power in this situation.
Be blessed and stay connected.
In Jesus’ Name
