Thank you for your continued commitment to intercede for Beauty From Ashes™ Ministries. Your prayers are priceless to us and those we serve. As we move into a new year, here are our January prayer points:
CLIENTS: Please pray for our local and national clients' mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. Agree with us 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 may they 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. Pray for our January strip club outREACHs and that God would use us to help reveal His free gift of life through our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ!
ASSESSMENT/RESOURCE CENTER: We are continuously grateful for His provision of our new assessment/resource center: Daily we are praising Him as we settle into our new location at the North Fort Myers United Way House, where in partnership with the United Way , the Salvation Army, and Lee Physician's Healthcare Systems, we are providing comprehensive and integrated mental health, medical, dental, social, and spiritual services to victims of commercialized sexual exploitation. We are encouraged and lifted up by your prayers and ask that you please keep them coming! God is answering in MIGHTY ways.
LONG TERM RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM: Pray for God's direction, provision, staff, volunteers, and community engagement for existing programs and His perfect timing for ours.
EVENTS: January is the National Human Trafficking Awareness month. Please pray for our upcoming National Sex Industry outREACH and AfterCARE Training, taking place January 11-14 at Barry University. Pray that more local churches answer God's calling through hosting awa reness events along with supporting the mission of Beauty From Ashes as Florida 's first and only human trafficking, overcomer led, community service agency. May all the details of this months events come divinely into place with passion, purpose, clarity, and hope. Agree with us that hearers at awa reness events will be inspired to become doers in the fight against human sex slavery here in the United States .
