As night closes in, our team is gathering roses, and putting a scripture verse on each one. Later, we will hand out the roses to the ladies of the night.
Our DTS leaders brief our team on the intense encounter that is about to take place. We are going to hand out roses to high class prostitutes in the red light district of Sao Paolo, Brazil .
As a team, we start to intercede, praying for God’s heart for how we need to walk out this intense evening. This is spiritual war! I’m thinking, “These are the daughters of a living God, who have a chance to turn their hearts toward God.”
As our DTS team arrives to our destination, tears begin to flow down my face as we pass so many girls! God is showing me a glimpse of His heart at this time. So many ladies, where do we start? These girls are from the age of 14 to late 30s and they will do anything for money. The police drive by, but they pay no attention to the girls, or to us. The streets are lit up with lust and darkened by brokenness.
As I hand a rose to one lady—I will not mention her name—I find out through the interpreter that she is a pastor’s daughter. Tears are flowing down her face from guilt and shame.
We find out she charges USD$5,000, and uses that money to supply her lavish lifestyle.
The Holy Spirit is doing a deep work as we pray with her. I tell her that God has come to tell her tonight that it is time for God’s daughter to come home to His arms. We pray together a prayer of repentance, and she cries as she repeats it after me.
She gives her heart back to the Lord tonight. I remind her that God will take care of all of her needs. My teammates have many more victories. Heaven is rejoicing!
