Satan is TICKED!

God is AMAZING! Our meeting last night went well, for those of you who couldn't attend. We just painted a picture of what this ministry could look like. And prayed for the girls/staff at the club and the relationships that will be built.

We brainstormed ideas on the best way to serve the ladies. My thinking all along was that I would go to this training at Southland Christian Church in Lexington in August. They have a ministry to exotic dancers. In two weeks I will get to not only train with the ministry leader but actually go to the clubs with a team.

After the training I planned to come back and train anyone else interested in showing God's love to Emerald City. Then I thought we would aim for the end of September to be the first delivery of gifts. We have all decided this would be the best way- meet a physical need. No strings attached just a gift in love to start breaking the walls so to say.

Last night at the meeting everyone was so excited about getting school supplies to the moms and even dads that may work there. School starts next week so everyone agreed we need to get on this. So I thought I'll call and see if the manager will let us deliver some stuff for them, and ask how many of the staff have kids, etc.


Well isn't it funny when we plan everything out- that God just chuckles... He said- go there! meet the manager/owner, ask in person. So Liz and I went today. We were able to meet the Video Store owner, the Manager at the Bikini Bar, and three super sweet girls, in need of friends and a Savior! We were there over an hour and man it was just amazing how receptive they were. I shouldn't even act so amazed... we asked God and He provided the way!

Please pray for these girls. They are hungry. They may not know they are hungry for Christ yet- right now all they know is they are hungry for food! We'll meet the physical need first- They are already shocked and curious as to why we would want to do this- We just want to love them like God does.

So... I am going back Friday afternoon to give a good home cooked meal and school supplies to the ladies. There may be others there and it will just be a ripple affect when they all start chatting about these girls who are "different". That's where the questions start and the conversations begin.

How awesome is it that we know we can at least go to the bikini bar anytime we want. We built good first relationships. Hopefully soon we will connect with the Nude bar owner- Kip. and see if we can provide school supplies to the staff there as well.

Continue to be in prayer- Satan is TICKED!
