This afternoon we visited families living on the streets. Life is harsh for them. We met a group of young women who live alone & unprotected in this rough part of town. Their stories are shocking, heart wrenching, frustrating. These two young women are picked up regularly by a local gang and raped, and they can't do anything about it. If they fight back, they know they will be killed by the gang. They each have several children now, but still they live alone with their little ones. Their faces are old, but they are young, maybe 18 or 20. In the eyes of their children I see no hope for the future.
What can we do? Lord, how can this change? You are the only hope. Show us the way.
After spending time with these families the four of us loaded up in the car and headed into the Red Light Area with our guide. Check back later today for a glimpse into our visit with a group of young women in the brothel. It was an amazing time.

Thanks for keeping us updated. It is heartbreaking, but I know that your touch to the people you are meeting will last a long time. I also pray freedom and God's all powerful presence in their lives. Blessings.
