CLIENTS:  Please pray for our local and national clients' mental, physical and spiritual healing, that they have sound minds, and the courage to commit to the long term healing journey.  May they receive a revelation of God's love for them and who they are in Christ. Thank God for the work He's done already in their lives and His faithfulness to complete it. 

OUTREACHES:  Thank God for the favor we have with sex business management and employees.  Pray that the Father's love will be evident in and through the team as they operate in unity and one accord.  

May those we reach receive the revelation of who God is, how much He loves them, and embrace the truth that will set them free to be everything they were destined to be.  

Agree with us that outreach team members would  multiply according to God's will.

"The best of our churches tend to welcome those captive (to alcohol, drugs, homosexuality, promiscuity, and so forth.) at first, but if they don't 'fix' pretty quickly, they will probably be despised. We like success stories--powerful testimonies. A captive in our midst soon wears out her welcome if she doesn't get with it pretty quickly.  In gracious contrast, God stands by us until we are free.  He uses various forms of discomfort to woo us to Him, but He never forsakes us.  God is the only One who is not repelled by the depth & length of our needs."  -Beth Moore, Breaking Free

"Because You are my helper, I sing for joy in the shadow of Your wings". Psalm 63:7

Thank you for standing with us in prayer, as we help captives to be free, and for the establishment of God's perfect will for His ministry, Beauty From Ashes™.
