Time to Help

Over a month ago I wrote about a young woman, Ludmila, who I met in a pyschiatric ward. She had been a victim of trafficking. Together, with a Moldovan friend, we tried to encourage her to enter a Christian rehab center not far from her village, but she refused to go.

Now she is ready to look at it. The home she returned to is led by an abusive alcholic step-father. At this point she wants to get out. We will pick her up and take her to the rehab center to see what it is about.

Pray for us this week as we try to bring hope and healing into Ludmila's life. Pray that she will be willing to stay at the women's rehab center. Pray that the women at the center will be able to minister love and healing to her and that she will find hope and peace in Jesus.

Pray also for our friends who will accompany us. Edward runs a ministry to police and military. He will go along and try to talk to the step-father, who is a policeman. (There is no law in Moldova against abuse at this time.) Pray that Edward can effectively talk to this man and that, through Christ, we can see a change in the entire family.

Thanks for your prayers this week. This can only happen through prayer.
