Ericka Accepts Jesus

I have great news!! A few weeks ago we received a call from "Celeste". She told us she was a prostitute and left that lifestyle and wanted to talk to us. We hadn't really met her before and didn't know who she was. (She is the lady on the far right in the picture).

Friday she met us at McDonald's to talk. She told us her story and that she left prostitution and wants a change her in life. Almost as soon as she started to talk, she was crying. God was really working in her heart. It was at this time she told her real name is Ericka - not Celeste.

We talked to her about God and asked if that was a decision she wanted to make. With full understanding, she said yes and we prayed with her. We invited her to church with us on Sunday and she came for the first time.

This weekend, we're sending her on a retreat with the Darby's church and we should begin her discipleship soon.

Please keep Ericka in your prayers. She's desperate for her new relationship with God and hungrily seeking Him! I pray that desire continues and the devil doesn't get in her way. Soon, she will need a new job, too.

Thank you! Your financial support enables us to send people like Ericka (plus another two ex-prostitutes) on this retreat. YOU are a part of this!
