Last week was an incredible week. God provided so many opportunities for us to show His love and heart to His beautiful broken daughters. Just want to thank CCPO and CC Metro for the privilege of being able to offer real hope and real help to the ladies that were arrested as part of a prostitution diversion sweep. While these women were being arrested they were brought to 1700 and given the opportunity to receive help and to also go immediately into a long term, out of state discipleship program. Three ladies accepted the offer of help; Nicole,Kania,and Lisa. Unfortunately, Nicole had a large warrant outside the city that prevented here from going. Sadly, she was remanded to the CC Jail and on Saturday morning while outreaching for our SHAN breakfast I saw her back on the street. Please pray that this hole in the net will close, and that when a new chief judge is appointed we will have God's favor and these types of breakdowns won't happen. Please continue to lift up Kania and Lisa. Many times the ladies take the opportunity offered them and then don't follow through. We pray that seeds of hope for change and helping are planted and we pray for ongoing opportunity to walk alongside them as they seek a way out. 

  The team did an outstanding job coming alongside the women and really just setting an environment of warmth and love. Thank you to all my sisters who join us in this...you are a bigger blessing than you can even imagine. We couldn't do what we do without you! The SHAN breakfast was incredible. God started bringing ladies early and they were treated to a five star restaurant experienced. (thanks Apryl, can we keep you?) Again, just a awesome opportunity and time to decompress from the reality of life on the street and to be fed, clothed, and loved by the grace and mercy of God. We are trusting Him to break the chains that hold these women captive. We need and want your prayers. Please hit up our SHAN Facebook page for weekly updates and prayer requests. We will not be putting many photos there for obvious reasons, but you can stay in the loop with all that is going on. Keep us in continued prayer as we know the enemy is seeking to discourage us in this battle. Newsflash...the victory has already been won, but we need God's strength and wisdom as we continue to fight from this front line position. We love you and thank God for your prayers and practical service that keep us marching on. Brenda and the SHAN team
