Dear Friends,
So much has been happening. We continue to grow fast and are so thankful for all that God is doing through us with your faithful prayer support.
Praise:
- Eleven women were baptized during our annual retreat. One of them said: "When I came out of the water, it felt like all the old was gone and I felt new!"
- Six more women have made decisions to follow Christ.
- We now have 53 women employed with three more coming soon.
- Jewelry sales have increased along with positive publicity through www.notforsalecampaign.com and an article on the BBC website featuring NightLight. We are so grateful for everyone who is buying jewelry and supporting the employment of the women.
- Praise God for the additional space thanks to a generous donor. We have also been given funds for housing of volunteers and shelter for women in need.
Prayer Requests:
- Pray for the staff and volunteers with the increased responsibility in overseeing 56 women.
- Pray for protection over NightLight as we are receiving unfriendly messages and being misrepresented by foreign men who are angry at our presence. Pray that what Satan has intended for evil, God will use as opportunity for other men to be convinced of what God can do in transforming lives - even their own.
- Our newest woman "M" is 7 months pregnant and burdened with caring for 5 children after having been abandoned by her husband. Two of her children are staying with her here at NightLight.
- One of the women we've been ministering to on the street, just got married to a foreign man. Pray for their marriage. She will be coming to work with us when he returns to his country. Pray for her health as well.
- "N" is in rehabilitation and needs to continue but is discouraged with the process. Pray she will be able to persevere.
- Pray for protection and wisdom as we seek to assist the trafficked women.
We value your prayers and support. May God bless you abundantly!
