"...Mien who at the age of 14 chose to sell herself as a sex slave in order to pay off the debts her family had incurred. For 6 months she was raped and sexually tortured from 5pm to 5am. After that horrendous ordeal, she continued to move from brothel to brothel over the next 6 years in order to support her family. One day she was rescued and brought to the Newsong centre....
She has survived such a traumatic past and yet today she is a beautiful young woman with a beautiful smile. God indeed has not only restored her hope, He has restored her dignity, He has restored her joy and He has given her a new life, a new future as she lives out her dream of having a tailoring shop right in this community, a place she calls home. She is a reminder that there is no life so destroyed, so devalued and so degraded by Satan, that God cannot heal and redeem. She is a living testimony of the power of God to do the impossible because He really is the God of the impossible!..."
I invite you to pop by the Ratanak Missions Blog and peruse the archives to see God's Hand at work in marvellous redemption.
In His time, he makes ALL things beautiful.

I am going to the Mission site right now. A very sad beginning for this girl yet God has turned, her mourning into dancing. Praise God she was rescued.
hearing this makes me crazy. I will check out the blog...and maybe I can in some way support this endeaver. Thank you for the heads up...
Even when it seems all hope is lost and we count God "out", He's still "in"... all in and can never be underestimated. What a powerful witness to the transforming work of the cross via a few people who were willing to step out in order to step in. Thanks for sharing. Hope you are well, Sita. I've had a very busy summer thus far and am desperate for a new normal to arrive.
Blessed rest to you and yours this week.

What a painfully glorious story -- I know the scars are there to remind her of where she has been. May her life be a shining light to those who find themselves on this same path.
Thanks for sharing.
Love
