Another side of the Olympics

Tonight I met with a few ladies that I pray with each month concerning the trafficking of women and the start of our own ministry here to women. One of the ladies made a comment that right now, along with all the Olympic venues being built, brothels are going up as fast as they can build them. Since the brothels are going up, they are also busy recruiting right now. This means that the traffickers are working hard to get many other women to "come for work" abroad.

One of the ladies, Mariana, also has been meeting with a young women in a Pysch ward of a hospital who lived 2 years in Turkey after being trafficked. She is broken and hurting. Please pray that we can give the love of Christ to Ludmila.

And as I hear of this young woman, I see the desperate need to get our home going. At this point, we do not have a place to offer her. She needs a place where God can fill her with His love and peace. We are making an offer on a home that is under construction and we are so excited about that.

Pray:
1. That the traffickers who are working so hard to line their pockets by selling yet another girl, would be stopped. That the girls thinking today of answering an add or going to where they think life will be better will find the truth about what lies ahead. That these girls simply wouldn't go in the numbers that the traffickers are working to get.

2. That Ludmilla would find the healing that only Jesus can give.

3. That God would give us favor and speed in buying this property and that he'd make all things come together on it. That we'd get all the needed funds to do so.

Thanks for praying today.
