Provide rescue and shelter for some of the 100,000 women (and their children) involved in sex slavery and prostitution in this city of twenty-two million. Most of these women were trafficked into prostitution when they were children and do not believe in a God who loves them personally. Their children also need to experience the unconditional love of Christ.
Your gift will help oppressed women in the red-light areas with pressing needs, especially related to leaving the red-light area, and enable the children of the red-light women get into hostels so that they are not living in the brothels. Partnering with the team of long-term workers that leads this project will enable them to share Christ with those still in the trade and teach life skills and a new trade to rescued women. Pouring time and positive attention into these women helps them understand the love the Father has for them. Give today to share the gospel and incarnate the love of Christ with these women so they will run to Him as their Comforter, Healer and, most of all, their Savior.
South Asian peoples live within a kaleidoscope of colors, a cacophony of sounds, and a buffet of flavors that ignite the senses and warm the soul. This enigmatic region is the birthplace of four world religions but is also home to the world's highest concentration of lostness.
The 1.6 billion people of South Asia are concentrated in an area less than half the size of the USA. Muslims and Hindus comprise the overwhelming religious majority. Every week 225,000 South Asians die, most without Christ. Yet there are glimmers of gospel hope. Through the work of local Christians and foreign workers God is bringing South Asians to faith in Jesus, the church is growing, and stories of Christ’s redeeming power are emerging from the field.
More than a billion South Asian eyes are searching for hope. Pray for long-term workers and their local partners who share the love of Christ daily. Ask God to use their efforts to create a movement of his Spirit across the city and throughout countries and islands of South Asia!
