Prayer & Praise March 19, 2021
From the Brothels of India Praise that Praise God we have been receiving lots of donations for our shipping containers! Our next container in Casper will be specifically filled with food to be sent to Honduras. Praise God for all that was accomplished in 2020 through our partnerships with children’s homes! We are so encouraged by the support and love for these kids. To see our 2020 Vision for Children report click here! Pray & Praise “Walking through the streets and brothels of an Indian Red Light District (RLD) is like a bad dream. Suddenly, you are transported into a foreign culture – foreign to every good thing you have been taught. Women line the streets with apparent emotional detachment. Throngs of men, young and old, walk side by side – groups of young men laughing, older men walking with purpose. There is no alluring of the men necessary. The men are there for sex. The women are there to provide it. These women and children are real, living, breathing human beings. But their bodies have been devalued in the eyes of man – reduced to a short term, physical purpose with seconds of pleasure. Seconds of pleasure compared to the life of a young human being, made in the image of God. It is not surprising that a woman would devalue herself when treated like an object with no worth. These ladies are rejected as the worst of society. Doctors do not want to touch them or pay attention to their physical complaints, so they frequently misdiagnose and mistreat them. Even Non governmental Organizations (NGOs) take advantage of them with photo shoots of spending a few minutes with them bringing in thousands of dollars for other causes within their organizations. There is, however, one NGO committed to truly serve the ladies and the children of the RLD. This organization is Christian and led by Suzie and her husband Jo. For their protection, I shall refer to this NGO as AT, and the real names of the leaders have been changed. They partner with Vision Beyond Borders (VBB). Suzie and her staff visit the area daily. She has opened a salon, which serves as the center of her ministry. Young girls are trained and hired to run the salon, which serves women from the RLD, charging only a minimal amount. They feed and teach children of the workers six days a week, displaying genuine love and caring, demonstrating God’s love Updates for them in the flesh.”-Nessa Prayer Please join us in praying for our contacts in Pakistan.
