Thank you so much for your prayers! Saturday night we were able not only to gain entrance to the spas, but also to obtain the information we were seeking. The video equipment did not work, but the audio recordings caught what we needed.
Our human trafficking partners commented that things went very smoothly and seemed easy when they are often quite the opposite. They recognized this as a direct result of the prayers and the fasting that have been sown over these spas in the preceding weeks and months. Thank you for your faithfulness in fighting this battle with us!
Next steps…
è Stakeout: It's possible that some of the women who work in these spas live in the apartment complexes literally right next door and across the street. We want to find out where they live so we can connect with them in their homes rather than in their place of business. Please pray with us as we prepare to spend long hours watching comings and goings at the spas. We will let you know when it happens!
è Translators: All of the women we have had contact with either identify themselves as or appear to be Chinese/East Asian. They also claim not to speak much English. Please pray that we will either be able to connect with an outside translator or to raise one up from our own community.
è Go to the source: We want to know who is in charge – who owns the land, who owns the business (these two are usually not the same person) – so that we can cut this thing off at it's head.
è Keep our guard up: Satan fights back when we enter his territory, sometimes in seemingly unrelated ways. Please pray for the team members who were involved that we continue to walk in God's armor and are able to quickly recognize and counter the enemy's attacks.
