Last night we took to the streets again. One of the team had the impression to go back to the area where there are the
Lion gates at the entrance. We found a new make up place. This is a place where the girls come to get ready, its an amazing opportunity to minister to the girls without their pimps or brothel owners there. The lady who owned the make up store was very open and friendly and obviously ready to build relationship with us. There where 2 girls in her shop, they where 15 and 16 years old, one of them asked for the "barbie look" We watched as she was transformed from a countryside girl to a sophisticated shell. I noticed on her arms many many cigarette burns. Sometimes the customers burn the girls with cigarettes, or the girls say they feel so numb inside they burn themselves with cigarettes in order to just let out a scream. I reached out and touched her wounds and she was surprised that anyone cared at all about her, about her pain, about her life. It was a special moment as God touched her life with His concern for her, her eyes filled with tears behind the make up and the huge false eyelashes, God broke in with His love. We got their phone numbers and will follow up tomorrow to invite them to the workshop.
We then went to the Lion gates and felt to worship, so we began to sing songs of praise, on the other side of the street was a pimp and brothel owner we know. Brother Z. He has told us beofre that his whole family is serving the Lord and only he is on this dark path. He knows very well we are there to pray and worship and he does not say anything. I believe we are there as a result of his families prayers for him, he cannot escape the love of God (psalm 139.8) " If I make my bed in the depths you are there. "
I have often thought what an encouragement it is to people with unsaved relatives that God hears their prayers. God gave us a prophetic word for him that he hates women and thats what keeps him in that work, it satifies his hatred. As we where leaving he came over to the car and put his head inside the window. The car is our mobile ministry unit filled with prayers and worship music, he relaxed instantly and I shared with him the prophetic word and he opened up totally, he shared how his wife had left him in his most vunerable time, after an accident where he couldnt walk and his son was very small, his wife took all his money and left. Then with tears in his eyes he told us about his mother who had waited for him and prayed for him daily when he started on this wild path, before he could see his mother she died and his sisters blamed him for the mothers death. We told us many times he crieswhen he is walking home at night alone. He thanked us for praying for him, we blessed him and then after our team debrief and prayer we went home.
