Since the ministry to save women and girls from the sex-trade started three years ago, hundreds of people\u00a0have received the Lord and new churches have started in the area. Why? Almost all spoke of the\u00a0love\u00a0they\u00a0have seen in the Christians and therefore wanted to know God. Men have started to work and the women have stopped selling themselves for sex. In the village where we began the ministry, sixty percent of the\u00a0women have stopped\u00a0with the prostitution.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prostitute, maoist, pastor<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Mina Badi,<\/em> one of the women we interviewed has six sisters and they were all forced into\u00a0prostitution but several of them have now been set free. She told us her story of how they were so poor and\u00a0had\u00a0nothing to\u00a0eat when they grew up, so out of necessity she started to sell herself in the village like the\u00a0others.\u00a0Later in life she\u00a0joined the maoists in their fight against the government as they promised that her\u00a0life would\u00a0be changed as they\u00a0do not believe in the cast-system. She joined them and became a leader\u00a0carrying guns\u00a0and bombs killing many\u00a0people in her fight and longing for revenge.\u00a0After some years she lost her mind\u00a0and became\u00a0insane, but somehow in her state\u00a0of mind she heard about Jesus when someone witnessed\u00a0to her, and\u00a0she prayed to receive Jesus as her Saviour.\u00a0Within one week she was completely in sound\u00a0mind again\u00a0and later on came to study in our Bible school in\u00a0Kathmandu. She attended the third course and\u00a0went\u00a0back to her village and started a church two years ago, which\u00a0has now grown to over fifty people. Many\u00a0miracles are taking place in her ministry. She seems to have an\u00a0anointing to pray for people who have\u00a0mental problems. Among other things she told us about a woman who\u00a0were wandering the streets out of\u00a0her mind for twenty-two years. Mina prayed for her and within a few days she\u00a0was totally restored and is\u00a0now a member of her church.<\/span><\/p>\n

I could continue to give testimony after testimony how people have had their\u00a0lives changed. Many have escaped out of suffering, violence and depression. They have been victims of rape, been in jail and been assaulted by people. Some have been Maoists and killed many in the war, etc, BUT they have\u00a0met Jesus and have had their lives changed. It is incredible to hear these unbelievable life stories.<\/span><\/p>\n

How can you purchase a human being?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

All of you who have followed our news and read our newsletters have read about one of the girls in the hostels, a fifteen years old\u00a0girl that\u00a0came to the homes 1 1\/2 years ago. She had been captive in a brothel in Delhi, tormented, raped\u00a0and used for sex for several years until she became so numb and disturbed in her mind because of the\u00a0electrical shocks they gave to her in the brothel (she still has scars on her forehead because of it). Her little sister is\u00a0now in the same situation in Delhi and\u00a0it seems like the only way to save her is to pay for her rerelease. Pray for her and the many others that are enslaved in the same way.<\/span><\/p>\n

These brothel owners and the people trafficking girls are so callous and cynical. They treat human beings like commodities. Like they would buy a car and use it until it becomes too old, or break down with engine failure, likewise they treat a girl. They use her as a commodity that will generate refund on the investment. They force the girl to have sex with up to forty men every day and beats her if she refuses. There is no escape. She is locked up in the brothel. When she is of no use any longer (maybe she becomes pregnant, maybe she gets sick or have an emotional breakdown) they will just discard her like trash throwing her out of the brothel to go back to Nepal.<\/span><\/p>\n

In\u00a0the time we live in this sounds so unbelievable. How can you buy a human\u00a0<\/strong>being? Yet it\u00a0is a reality for so many young girls<\/strong>,\u00a0and quite often the\u00a0only way to free someone\u00a0is to buy him\/her\u00a0out. It is not a good way but sometime there is no other option.<\/span><\/p>\n
