Last night (5/5)

Last night we went to the strip clubs and took gift bags to the dancers. Each bag contained body lotion, an encouraging scripture and other reading material, an invitation to church, and chocolate candy. Below are highlights:
  • Christina asked for prayer for her relationship with her boyfriend of 4 years.
  • Shay wants to get out of the business. She said she's had some "God moments" during the past several months and is tired of the business.
  • Several girls in one club asked prayer for "new beginnings".
  • Charles, a security guard, has been working at one of the clubs for 3 weeks and asked for prayer for protection. He also would like to get in to the police academy.
  • A girl who looked like a dark-haired Pippi Longstocking with perfectly straight teeth was interviewing to be a waitress. She has a 2-year old daughter. I pray she is able to find work outside of this industry.

As a follow-up to a previous post:

  • Chris, the waitress who called because she wants to get out of the business, got an internship which she hopes will become a permanent position in the near future.
  • Roxie is working with a recruiter who is helping her with her resume.

Go, God!

Thanks for your prayers and support!
