God continues to move in powerful ways through Beautiful
One! We recently welcomed a new member, Jillian D'Angelo, to our outreach team.
She has a passion to reach the hurting in all walks of life and is a great
asset to our team. It is exciting to see the Lord pulling together a
like-minded team with genuine hearts to love and serve women who are being
sexually exploited in NYC. Last month we had the joy of ministering to a woman
in a massage parlor who had only heard the Gospel once before in her life! She
showed incredible hunger to hear what Jesus had done for her and smiled
repeatedly as we shared testimonies of how His love has changed our lives. After
spending over an hour with her, we prayed together and she said, "I feel
different, like lighter!" The following Sunday, which happened to be
Easter, she accompanied our translator to a Chinese church service and was very
touched by the presence of the Lord! This month's strip club outreach also had
some beautiful moments, one in which we were able to be there for a woman on
her first night back after not stripping for some time. She was encouraged by
our love and presence there on what was a very difficult night for her. One
club which we were not able to get into last time allowed us in, and at another
we were given access to VIP parking any time we come! It continually amazes us
to watch both God's favor and His everlasting love at work in the lives of all
those who work at the clubs and massage parlors. Please keep those we are reaching
in your prayers!
