STRIP CLUB OUTREACH:  Fort Myers, FL, Saturday, September 11th 7pm - 11pm.  The Beauty From Ashes (BFA) outREACH team will be delivering a warm, comfort meal consisting of various quiches, salad, rolls & pies to the employees of of our local 'adopted' strip club.  We'll also be doing foot washings, bible study and serving communion.  After 6 years of outREACH to this club in the past 2 months we've been privileged to lead 8 people, including the manager, in the sinner's prayer.  It's been your prayers and the giving of our partners that has made this possible, THANK YOU!  Please continue to pray for these precious individuals. They desperately want out of their lifestyles and struggle with thinking it's impossible to do so.  May the relationships we have developed be rooted and grounded in the truth that will set them free to be all that God destined and purposed them to be!

    Dear BFA Outreach Team:

    I know how difficult it must be for someone who's turned her life over to the Lord to still be "stuck" in a dark enviornment. Yet I gain a lot of hope from this verse from Jeremiah: Jeremiah 29:11 (New International Version)
    "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

    The Lord DOES have plans for each one of these precious women, and He is working them out NOW; it's just a matter of haning in there until the outcomes of God's plans are in view.

    Galatians 6:9 (New International Version)
    "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."

    God bless!!!!!

    in His love,
    Ron
