View Traficking and kidnaping underage girls in India - #3  

too see the scope of the problem and then read about our Tamar Ministry.

Our Tamar Ministry expanded recently to include the rescue of girls who were part of the human-trafficking plight of this area.  We have rescued two girls who were recently captured.....maybe they had not even been sold (as flesh) yet.....it was a middle of the night, daring expedition with two of the converted prostitutes taking the lead in the effort.....I was not present because of my "white skin" (I would stand out like a sore thumb).....and now the two girls are safe here in a part of Mumbai about three hours from where they were rescued.  Our Tamar Ministry (as we have named it) has now 9 converted prostitutes (who are learning new trades...we are teaching them) and 2 rescued girls (in their upper teens).  With nearly a half million prostitutes in Mumbai and with a huge human trafficking problem here (especially with young girls who have been stolen from their families), this is a much needed ministry.  I weep openly about the situation as I think that this could be my own daughter.  I don't have any fear for myself because I am not allowed on the front lines of the work.  I only see the ladies after they have come forward to make a change or they have already been rescued.  The Indians I am working with are fearless....amazing to see their faith....especially these newly converted prostitutes who want to help these captured girls become free again.....they love Jesus so much!  It is only a start (drop in the bucket), but we depend upon God to lead us to the next person....and the next.....and the next.  Living in Vizakhapatnam, over 3 hours away by flight, I can only participate as I come to Mumbai on an infrequent basis.  Please pray for those who are involved on a daily basis.
