We met a few new dancers who had just started working there that week. It is always shocking to think about HOW many dancer have crossed our path over the past few years of doing this ministry!I was doing “S” hair and make up while Carrie was painting her toes back in the dressing room for about 45 minutes. Other dancers kept coming into the dressing room and telling S that she had a “customer” waiting there who came just to see her. After countless girls telling her she needed to hurry up and get out to the floor to see him, S said she would come out later and just wanted to stay with us. Even the manager came into the dressing room and was very upset that she didn’t go see her customer because the man eventually left because he was tired of waiting, which resulted in the club losing money. S is an incredible girl with an INSANE story of strength and courage and tragedy. I have been hanging out with S for a month or so now and God is really trying to get her attention lately.S is 24. She has a 5 year old son who she doesn’t have custody of. She was sexually molested for all of her childhood.Her mom was murder when she was 16. Her dad is an active alcoholic. When she was 18, she got sucked into prostitution by a very powerful Pimp in TX. She spent a year of her life, traveling with 4 other women, being prostituted out all over the country. The pimp physically abused her many times. She just finished serving a year in jail this past March for violation of a past drug charge. S has had so much inconceivable and horrible things happen to her. I have had the privilege of spending a lot of time with her and she came to church two weeks ago with me. The Holy spirit has touched her heart and whenever we get together, she cries and wants so desperately to have an incredible life serving God. She did at one point know God, but quickly fell back into the only lifestyle that she has ever known. PLEASE pray for S.I am learning more and more about how incredibly difficult it is for dancers to get out of this entrapping lifestyle that they have been handed. It is so difficult to learn to do new things or make changes when they have never even known that these options exist. We have a hard time comprehending how come it doesn’t happen quicker but the truth is that most of them literally do not know or think there is another way of life! And statistically, dancers in this type of lifestyle continue in it without ever changing or making the changes that will allow them to get out. I pray that satan’s grip on these girls will be released and that every single dancer will be redeemed by the blood of Jesus and leave the industry forever! I know it can happen! God is calling his children back to him!Forgiven and free,Hannah & Carrie
