Now the hard part starts. The conference is over and we had a little preview of what the streets are like in the bad part of the city last night. There were girls everywhere trying to sell themselves. Some just sitting there waiting to be noticed and some on the arms of old white men. There were many "lady-boys" - transvestites - who have their own little streets along the way to sell their services. They have menus on the streets that you can order the type of services you'd like...evil!

We are going to a mission that's already set up for these girls tomorrow. Looking forward to seeing how it's already working here - the rescuing, the counseling, the rehabilitation. Then Tuesday we go to the border of Cambodia and Thailand where Poi Pet is and our main Cambodian Victory Church is. I'm told that the border itself will break your heart as the parents put their children out to beg there. Some children get beaten before as it raises more sympathy and, thus, more money. There is an aids clinic right there as well that Pastor Joel visits once a week. It's basically their last stop.

So...those are some of the problems here. So glad that we are able to be part of the solution.

Love you all! Thanks for your prayer.
