:: mustering up the guts to leave… ::
We’ve had several teams in Thailand this month. Many of them have been working in the bars with prostitutes, developing relationships, and sharing God’s love with them in such a way that they choose to leave their line of work. Why? Because most of the girls have been lied to their entire lives and didn’t know that there was a way out. The worst part? Many had heard of God and His wreckless and raging love… but they didn’t believe that He would forgive them for their sin.
Here’s an excerpt from Lindsay Fox’s latest blog:After about 5 minutes of that, my partner looked at me and asked “do
you think we should have her come with us now?” and I felt my stomach
flip. I replied YES, and so we asked her if she would come with us
before her night of work started- that we’d find a way to pay her boss
back, and that we had a safe place for her to stay. She anxiously
looked around, and then nodded to us. She said goodbye to the girls she
was working with, grabbed her purse, and walked out with us. Talk about
guts!!
What’s the big deal? Why did it take guts to leave?
