Even though the sin in this city can be overwhelming, we have been blessed to see some fruit of our labor. There are two specific women I want to share about. The first lady is Mamma Pon. This woman works from 6am-6pm everyday at one of the bars, and her job is to clean up the mess from the night before. I met her the first day I was here, and since then EVERY time I pass her she RUNS to come hug me! Each time we have had the opportunity to pray for her, and to hug on her. She is so desperate for love! Not only is she in the midst of a carnal love, but her only son died. It was such a blessing for me to be a blessing to her!
The second lady is an awesome testimony to our work here. I do not remember her name, but I will never forget her story. As we were doing bar ministry and passing out English class cards, this woman began to tell her story to Lindsay and another lady on staff. When we all met back up, there was one more than what we started with. This woman left the bar at that very moment and wanted to be put in the Tamar Center program. She skipped the whole English classes, and was ready to leave the bar for good! The awesome thing is that she had been looking for a way out for quite sometime. She said that for the last two months she did not have a single man buy her for sex. Only a couple men even bought her, but they would find other girls before the night was over. That is a huge praise report. Thank you all for your prayers. I know that we are all working together to help one life at a time! I am so thankful that we were able to see some fruit from our labor and your prayers.
