Prayer in the Brothels of Mumbai, India (Current Missionary Report)
My mother-in-law is serving as a missionary doctor in Mumbai for 3 weeks. This is an E-mail update from her team. It's an incredible testimony to the power of prayer in the name of Jesus. Here is the account of today's activity...



Dear Prayer Partners,

Hi brothers and sisters, my name is Denise and I am a physician
assistant on the Mumbai team. I just wanted to update you on our
prayer requests and thank you so much for praying for our team. The
day was beautiful and dark in many ways. A few of the team members,
including me, were able to visit one of the brothels, it was a very
dark place and it was hard to believe that so many young women live in
such bondage.

The women's eyes at the brothel were so empty and void,
and we were so fortunate to be able to pray with a few of the women
who have found Jesus Christ. Please pray that these women will see
God's light and will get out of this bondage in the future.

During the clinic time in the afternoon, our pharmacist (Anita) and pharmacist's
helper (Colette) were able to pray with all of the patients that came
to the pharmacy, They were praying with pimps, brothels owners, and
women who are victims.

While and after praying, these patients were so
at peace due to God's presence and they didn't want to leave the
pharmacist. Anita said it was as though they were drinking in peace as
though they hadn't had peace in 100 years. It was amazing, God's work
is amazing!

Timely, brother,

There is an additional thread in Random Dialogue about Canada's change to prostitution laws (http://www.dailyaudiobible.com/Forums/Messages.aspx?ThreadID=1000022625#new), which has struck a cord with me, and led to some pondering on the matter. So it is good to see your mother-in-law's testimony of the grace of God at work. This bolsters my spirit.

Thanks for this.

Praying with you,

Tom
