Red Room Ministries Update

It has been amazing to watch as the Lord has continued to give us favor at the Red Room to reach out to the strippers and bouncers that work there. They all come to expect and even look forward to us coming every Thurs night. One of the girls even said that is why she likes working those nights. We have really been able to build relationships with them and get to know them. These girls and guys have become very dear to our hearts.

Most importantly we have had many opportunities to share the Gospel with several of the girls and with all of the bouncers. Since we spend most of the time with the bouncers outside we’ve gotten to have several long conversations with them about Jesus. Pray that they would each have personal encounters with Jesus Christ and get it. That the eyes of their understanding would be opened and they would be able to grasp their need and Christ’s amazing gift of salvation. The main guys we’ve been able to share with are Ha (Muslim but not devoutly practicing, can’t grasp idea of Christ’s sacrifice on cross, grace and forgiveness) and S (sees Christianity as being weak, doesn’t like idea of not being in control). Some of the other guys we’ve shared the Gospel with are T, V and P. (Note for sensitivity reasons I don't want to share their full names since this is a public blog)

A few of the girls that are heavy on my heart are Sc, In, Tr and Ol. There are so many more but these I have had more personal conversations with. Especially with In and Ol I have been able to clearly share the Gospel with. So many of them have such distorted views of what love and Christianity are. So thankful for all the conversation with these girls and for the times we get to just laugh and have fun with them as well. We are praying that the Lord would open up opportunities to get together with the girls outside of their work. We have talked with some of them about the possibility of doing a hip hop dance class for any of the girls working there that want to. A few of them have showed a lot of interest. So, if that is the Lord’s will for us to use that as a platform to share Jesus with them, that it would all come together to happen.

Prayer requests:

• For the salvation of the bouncers and girls that work at Red Room. That the Lord would continue to open doors to share Jesus. 
• One of our big hearts right now is to try to meet up with them outside of their work environment. Possibly doing a hip hop dance class with them.
• For a couple of solid Godly men to join us for outreach to the bouncers and the other promoters (for clubs and brothels) and pimps on the streets around the club. Currently just 4 of us girls going out right now regularly.
• For protection for our lungs as the only time we get to chat with the girls is while they are on a cigaret break.
