Due to the large number of inappropriate responses to this post, we have suspended commenting on this blog.Thank you all for your concern for Lola. Some have suggested that we do more than just pray for Lola. We absolutely agree. In fact, the reason we are there is to combine our prayers with practical hands-on help. Sometimes we’re able to do so in a dramatic way (for an example, see this blog describing how one of our teams helped one of the bar girls escape).
That is why we partner with the Tamar Center, a ministry that in fact helps girls get out of the sex trade and back to a safe and normal life. In so doing, our teams not only ensure practical followup, but grow in their capacity to actually make a difference themselves.
If you would like to know more about the long-term care opportunities that girls like Lola have, please read about the Tamar Center.
We are committed to the proposition that people like Lola deserve intervention and justice. Sometimes we may feel ineffectual, but we partner with those whose track record of care is solid. They know the bar girls like Lola personally and will continue to meet with them and advocate for them. They do this at personal risk and sacrifice. They deserve our encouragement and support. We will continue to post updates on this story here.

Lola-
After this five of us went to the Tamar Center (our ministry contact) to have an all night prayer session in their four-story building in the middle of all these bars and clubs. The following is what I wrote in my journal last night:
“I feel like I just began a fight in a ring, and tonight (Lola) was Satan’s first punch. He got a good hit
“This problem is too big, impossible to kill….FALSE! This problem is too big FOR ME, but not for my God!”
he has a plan to get them out. I just have to pursue him for the revealing of that plan.”
