Prayer Requests for THN [Border Monitoring]

"And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him." - 1 John 5:14-15

Prayer Request for Border Monitoring: Till now, we have not been able to get any convictions against traffickers, or even have any cases go to trial.  We have recently put together a legal strategy (with help from some amazing people) that is being launched in the coming week, and we are hoping for success in prosecuting traffickers.  Pray that we can successfully prosecute traffickers, so that they will be stopped from trafficking in the future, and others will be deterred from acting as traffickers.

She Hoped to Become a Film Star [Victim Testimony #1]

(from “The Rape of 100,000 Girls,” by Helen Brown)

Seema had left the poverty of her home village to work in Kathmandu. She was barely twelve when a smooth-talking flesh trader lured her to Bombay with talk of a better job. She hoped to become a film star. Instead she was sold into a brothel.

At first she resisted, screaming, crying and fighting off prospective customers, but the madam who ran the brothel would have none of it. She sent in a muscled toughie to hold the girl down while an old man raped her. The pain was so intense that Seema lost consciousness and had to be hospitalized for a week. After that it was back to the brothel where the other child prostitutes told her she could not win this battle.

Rojina and Sushmita

We just took in two girls into one of our homes; they are sisters and their names are Rojina and Sushmita. Rojina and Sushmita come from a village in Dhading, where their parents and a younger brother still reside. When they were still in their village, Rojina took care of the cow while Sushmita looked after her younger bother who is just a year old. Rojina, when she was just 8, came to Kathmandu and worked as a domestic worker looking after an elderly couple.
