Tuesday of last week, we went into one of the brothels that we have spent a lot of time washing feet and getting to know the girls. On that day, we met 2 girls we have never seen before…both put up a strong and proud front at first, telling us that they liked what they did (one started street prostitution when she was 14)...but they kept asking questions and seemed eager to talk about Jesus. As the conversation progressed they talked about dreams they had and said they did not want to do this forever. After several hours of talking and answering questions about Jesus they both prayed and asked Christ into their lives, as we read a prayer from the Bible, they repeated it and tears literally broke out of them and poured down their face...I have never seen the Word actually pierce someone’s heart…until that day! It was not our words that pierced them, it was when we stopped talking and read God’s words to them, that they got it, and they wanted it forever!
Then on Thursday, we went into another brothel that we have a good relationship with and offered to wash 2 girls’ feet that we had never met. We read the stories of washing feet in the Bible and they were hanging on ever word. They were relating to the sinful woman saying, "that is us!" When we told them what a Pharisee was, they said, "oh yeah, we know a lot of religious people like that!" They were truly captured by the Word of God! And they too, accepted Christ that day!
We have been in AWE of God ever since…He did all the work, we sounded silly, but when we read his Word, He pierced their hearts…He had prepared them for us to come, they were hungry for Jesus, we just showed up!
Please celebrate with us! These 4 special ladies will now spend eternity with Jesus…and this is only be the beginning of what God has planned!
My only prayer request is for these 4 girls, my new sisters in Christ. I already love them so much and I am worried about them and I want to protect them, and I am going to walk along side them as much as they will let me, but I will ultimately have to trust that God loves them more and He will take care of them!
Take a minute to listen to this song. Think about the chains in your life, past or present...
