BEAUTY FOR ASHESit was a busy day in Bagiuo, Philippines. I was joined with an all girls team doing an outreach among the woman in prostition and victims of sex trafficking.
Bagiuo is a city of over 200,000 in a beautiful mountainous town set in Philippines. During the day, over 500,000 people come out. The city was orginally built for 25,000. So it is packed. It is also packed with disco clubs and massage shops. Most of these are filled with women waiting for their next customer to service.
The price for a girl ranges from $4 to $20 on average. If you want her for the night (bar fine) the price goes up. Which they still have to pay half to the bar.
My experience there was unforgettable. I met so many of the women and saw faces that were disatisfied and ready to escape. The team i was with hosted a day for the women. Name “Beauty For Ashes.” This is my second program to be a part of called “Beauty For Ashes.” Both different yet VERY POWERFUL.
I will be posting some more pics from the day. The Lord gave me a chair, props, a purple sheet and a team of ladies that have a heart for those who have lost hope for themselves. When they left, they knew they were loved.
