My friend Paola is spending some time in Amsterdam. She is learning about the programs that YWAM has set up to work with prostitutes there and she will be using this training when she returns home to Costa Rica. You can check out her blog for more information at paolacostarica.blogspot.com.
Recently she blogged about the opportunity to speak with Denise, a former prostitute. Paola asked her what advise she could give her as a person working with people involved in prostitution. Her answer: "Never tell a prostitute that once she accepts Jesus in her heart, she cannot work as a prostitute anymore! Jesus is the one that is going to do the transformation in that person's life. He is the only one that has the power to transform her and it will take time. When I accepted Jesus, I kept working and I prayed and still worked. You can give your heart to Jesus while you work in prostitution because God is the only one that can help you step out. You can get out of prostitution but the prostitution can't get out of you until Jesus comes and set you free."
