“Rejoice with those who rejoice; Mourn with those that mourn.”
Romans 12:15
Ministry looked a bit different Friday in Atlanta.
Much heavier, much more somber.
Just before we left the church, we received a phonecall: A homocide reported that afternoon was indeed one of our friends from the streets. Although I had never met “Nini“, I was reminded immediately of the effects that death has on a community. “Nini” was young woman with a five year old daughter. Our hearts sunk deep.
We all piled into a van and followed the Spirit’s leading to the area in which she was known, prayed for both men and women, and simply spoke peace and comfort.
Fear and reality hit many of the women’s minds. “It could have been me,” they’d say. Indeed, it could have been any of us, and we all have the grace of God to thank. Our prayer is that it’ll open eyes to see the dangers of the lifestyle they live and that they’ll “choose out”.
On Monday night, Nightlight held a candlelight service for family and friends, truly ministering from God’s heart. They were able to represent how God mourns with us and how that is a form we can love others. His heart breaks for injustice and so does ours. He wants to use us to set the captives free and bring light to the darkness.
Please continue to pray for Nini’s family and friends. Pray for the sex industry and for safety of this at-risk population. Pray for Atlanta and revival’s to start from the center of NightLight’s kid’s club in red light districts. Pray for light to break through in the areas of Atlanta kept in the dark. Pray for hope.
