We leave NEXT SUNDAY! Here is some more info....
 
*******

LOTS OF STUFF TO UPDATE YOU ON! Here is the first thing. If you want to help out we made an AMAZON wish list and you can purchase things and have them sent. More to come, but check out our list here:

*******

If you have watched Episode #28 you have heard about the brothel in Ely that we have been working with since February. If you have not watched it, go watch it now.
The brothel in Ely is very old, in fact it's a historical site for the state of Nevada, and it's having a hard time because of it's old age.  These rooms are in desperate need of some freshly painted walls, new bathrooms, and some carpet.  What a thought, actually going and meeting a physical need that effects these gals daily.  Chances are they would remember you and the love you showed them, and it would not be forgotten.
Two ways to get involved.
1. GIVE. We need to raise $10,000 to make this happen. Donate on line now and select "Brothel Makeover" in the drop down menu.

2.  Serve with us.  Do you have the guts to show up? We could use a few people willing to help us out October 25-28th. We are looking for a group of talented construction workers, decorators, painters, and just hard workers to come out to town of Ely, Nevada and give a brothel a makeover! 
If you are interested in joining us on the trip. We are asking everyone who is coming to raise $600 for the trip plus pay for airfare out to Vegas and your meals. We will cover your hotel. You can register for the trip on the SERVE site by clicking HERE.

I know I am bombarding your blog with my comments but I just wanted to explain WHY I wrote what I did about the house, and how the men are treating the women. I know that sounded so secular and "worldy" and I am sure that there are people out there wondering WHY XXX church is doing a "make-over" on the brothels...most churches and ministries would LOVE to see those houses closed down. But I SEE that XXX church understands that there are REAL women living there, and that the business of prositution is their JOB. These are women that Jesus loves so much. And no matter how you look at it, they are there to WORK. We can love them all we want and try and "help" them, but the truth of the matter is, getting out is hard. I can only imagine what kind of men come out there, in the middle of no where. Money is tight, and hard to come by....living like that is hard on a "working girl"! I am just being real! The men will try and get the "best deal" possible, while the women have to "settle" for pennies! It can be very degrading!

The house in Ely was dreadful AND this is where they LIVE! Can you imagine how good the ladies will feel being able to live, (and work) in a nice environment? As controversial as it sounds to many religious people out! Yes, they are re-vamping a BROTHEL, and it's a wonderful thing! I lived in 4 different brothels over a period of 4 years, and I KNOW the women that come there to work. They come from all walks of life, with ONE thing in common: the need for money and the  hope of a better life with that money! I don't have to tell any sex-worker what the sex-industry breeds into people's life. It's a way out, but it's also a downward spiral into a life that can suck you in, and drain you of your spirit.

I applaud XXX Church for loving these wonderful women and this crazy house out in the high deserts of Nevada....I wish I could come out there and help SOOO bad! It's a beautiful thing that they are doing. The ladies will love them for it and they will SEE the LORD throught that love! They will KNOW that people love them, and that God loves them! But not that mean, vengeful God, no, they'll see the GREAT El Roi (the God who sees!), who watched as Rahab, the harlot, conducted an honest living in her Inn built into the walls of Jericho! The God who saw INTO THE HEART of a prostitute, and LOVED her, even while she was IN HER SIN!!!! This is the God that they will...and my heart weeps with joy because of that! 

Thank you for the wonderful thing you are doing! May God be with you all always! Continue on with your message of love!

You guys make me cry! I LOVE YOU for what you are doing!!! You don't even KNOW what that will do for the women who work there...and not to mention, help affect how the men who come there treat them! I worked at a place that was surrounded by really nice houses and the one I was in was rather worn down. The men would go to the other places and then come to the "old" house and low-ball the women there! I wonder if I know anyone there??? I think some of my Mustang sisters might be there. Also, do you have a physical address?
