  2. Our girls are learning that they are important for God
  3. Our girls are learning that God has a big plan for their lives

Our girls are bringing their families to church

Redeem (the program for sexually exploited girls)- Please pray that we will be able to increase the number of girls attending our Patio program as required by the new contract, and that we will have the needed workers and volunteers to attend to the greater number. Please also pray that the Lord will give us strategies and wisdom so that we can help the girls stay at the home and that they will be able to overcome the temptations of the streets. Please also pray for a new home for the girls as the contract for the home they are currently in will be expiring soon at the end of June.
