This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. – 1 John 4:10
Praise and Honor to God who’s love breaks down walls and reaches the darkest of places. This week was incredible at club six. We met a new girl and re-united with an old friend who disappeared suddenly 4 months ago and we never knew what happened to her. Neither did anyone else at the club.
In the past few weeks we have seen satan’s hard work within the club to get us out. The old bouncer who use to work there was fired three weeks ago for having relations with many dancers. He always welcomed us and even prayed with us a few times in the past. There is a new bouncer D who is very different from the bouncer who was always there before. The past two weeks, D would not allow the girls to come visit with us at all. Usually they are permitted to spend some time with us but ever since he has taken over, he requires ALL of the girls to be on the floor at all times which is obviously a problem for us. I believe this is a direct attack from satan. Satan is mad because girls are leaving that club, never to return again and are now dancing with joy in Jesus instead of under condemnation under the worlds plague. Tonight we finally got to spend some great time with the ladies. They can feel the love of God through us. Love is all anyone needs; and to go and love on these women is more than a commandment, its a duty and an honor.
Some of these girls have never even seen God in another human being and it’s amazing how God will use solely His servants presence as a way to unlock hearts of the broken. We did not have to reason with these girls or get philosophical or even deep in conversation with these girls. Simply the holy name of Jesus opens their mouths to share their burdens with us.
We met J who was new to this club. She told us that she was not even planning on coming in that evening but “something” was prompting her to go to work. She later told us that it was God who was prompting her to come in so that she could meet us. J is from Texas and about a year ago, she had her mentally disable son taken from her custody. She is devastated over the loss and is currently living in a hotel room with her 9 year old daughter in order to be close to the residential home where her son is being held. She also chooses to live there because she is terrified CPS is going to come after her 9 year old daughter. She thinks that Texas is already after her daughter. She has bitterness towards the church because when all of these things happened with her son, she was unable to work and became homeless and when she went to her “church” for help, no one helped her and her daughter. I told her that we’d be praying for her situation. Missy and I gave her our phone numbers and hopefully she will be calling us. We got to pray with her in the dressing room before we left and she could not stop crying the whole time.
C was there also that night. C was the very first bartender Rachelle and I talked to when we first walked into that club. C was always so sweet to us and even donated items to Scarlet Hope to be used to help pamper the women. 5 months ago C was going to get married in June of this year and we were going to help her get ready for the wedding and we were building a great relationship with her. One thursday night we showed up and C was nowhere to be found! All we knew is that she freaked out and ran away from work and everyone she knew and called off the wedding. We have been so worried about her and this week C was back working as a dancer. She let us do her hair and nails and we got a lot of time to catch up with her. Praise God for her safe return and please pray for the continue growth of our relationship with her.
JY~ needs a lot of prayer. All our team knows is that she is going through a horrific time in her life. Her cell phone is off and we cannot get in touch with her. She is being severely abused by her husband and is deep in addiction and prostitution.
Join with us in lifting these lives before the Lord.
Love, Hannah Dunn
