BFA PRAYER:  The holidays are typically a very challenging time for victims and survivors of commercialized sexual exploitation and trafficking.  The desire for family or grief of the loss of them is often compounded during this season.  Please agree with us that they receive the Spirit of Adoption, their heavenly Father, and the healthy family support systems have been provided to them.  May the love of the Father cover them with grace and they experience the revelation that they are loved, valued, and cherished.  Agree with us that the captives be set free to be everything God purposed and destined them to be. 

PRAYER REQUESTS:  We care for you and have a team that prays over your every need.  Please send them to prayer@beautyfromashes.org
