Valentines Day Visit

Tonight we went to the South Houston mens clubs that we have been going to for almost two years, in lieu of Valentines Day next week. We brought gift bags that had Rhinestone heart necklaces, chunky rhinestone heart bracelets/earrings, brownies, and a purse prayer in each one. Our team tonight consisted of our driver-David, Pastor Tara, Leslie, Laurie, Kelly and myself. We have started going about every six-eight weeks, instead of each month.
Our trip tonight was very fruitful! Prayed for the girls in two dressing rooms in two different clubs. Prayed for one precious girl right on the side of the stage at one club. She has only been in the industry for a week and grew up going to church. She cried and told me that she didn't want to do this, but didn't know how to make it on her own down here in Texas financially without the "fast" money of this business. She also said she wanted to come to church. Before we left that club, the cashier, a petite little blond, gave her life to Jesus! When I first talked to her about Jesus and then asked if she would like to make Him her Savior, she said yes, but that she felt uncomfortable praying for that in the club. I explained to her that Jesus was there and that He was very comfortable coming in to her life right there in the club! I asked her again, if she wanted to have a relationship with Jesus by asking Him to come into her life tonight. This time she said "yes...because I feel energy in me and around me..." I told her that was the presence of God and that by giving her life to Him, she would have access to that presence all of the time! Her little hands were tremblinge as she prayed a prayer of repentance and acceptance of Jesus. It was truly awesome. :) Please continue to pray for this ministry, as the Lord is mightily moving in it to save and set free both the men and women trapped in this lifestyle.
I have not blogged this awesome piece of news yet: One of the managers from one of the clubs is now coming to church with his wife and children and is responding very positively to the Word of God. Please pray for him that God will make a way of escape from that job and replace it with one that will meet all of his needs.
If you read this blog and feel a tug in your heart to reach out to the broken around you, I encourage you to just do it. There are hurting people EVERYWHERE and they are waiting on someone to tell them that they are not alone and there is a God who loves them and has a plan for their lives. God Bless you!
