I left the big city tonight and tagged along with some people who go out and visit to girls who work in the sex trade. These are girls who have gotten caught up in prostitution. They come from poor backgrounds and get caught up in the culture that holds them in. I went out with team of four three women and one man (and me). My job was to observe, learn what I could, but more importantly pray. I prayed for God to protect the women who went out 2 at a time to talk to the  girls. The girls paced on the side of this barren but lit two lane highway. Over the course of about a mile, there were twelve of them. Three of us sat in the car and prayed and kept a look out for  trouble from the pimps. The women on the team took hot tea, offered a sandwich and a Bible or a book, but mainly just spoke to these girls with the respect all humans deserve. Save your judgement. These women need Godly love. That’s what these women offered. When the pimps approach, the man on the team engages these men in conversation. The culture behind this whole industry is pretty complicated. The thing I observed in this team I was allowed to be a part of, is this, they care for the people who are caught in the tragedy in the freezing night (9 degrees F). For a moment, these people who are caught in a web of lies were allowed to experience the warmth of Jesus. Please pray as I did and will continue, that the words and the deeds of these disciples of Jesus will be used by God to cause these women to want to leave this life the are caught in behind and embrace a life of living in God’s love.
