March Strip Club OutREACHes, Human Trafficking Events & More!


MARCH STRIP CLUB OUTREACH REPORT:  
Beauty From Ashes (BFA) Ministries did two strip club outREACHes in the Fort Myers area this month.  
On Thursday, March 10th the BFA outREACH teams delivered outREACH gift bags to one club and on Saturday, March 12th the team delivered gift bags and served up a home cooked meal of meatloaf, mashed potatoes, mushroom and onion gravy, salad and rolls with vanilla and chocolate cupcakes in the locker room of their local "adopted" strip club.  The gift bags were decorated for St. Patrick's Day and included bibles, candles, beauty supplies, candies, invitations to BFA's weekly support/life skills group, testimony DVD's, and a scroll telling the recipients that they are treasured, valued and, loved.  With the management's permission, the team also distributed special mix CD's with the message of love, hope and trust to the customers in their "adopted" club.  The team prayed with the manager and employees, shared the gospel, and 
participated in communion with the
 dancers.  For pictures of gifts, outREACH and more information,
