Planting...Sowing...Harvest

Sterling Thailand, I hope you are still reading my blog as this relates directly to you. :)

A couple weeks ago while the Sterling team was here, they met some girls at one of the bars that came back for lunch one day at SHE (the three girls from Soi Easy - Soho Bar, I believe). They seemed to enjoy the lunch, and each made a piece of jewelry while here (which they are wearing every time we see them now in the bars), but that seemed to be the end of it. None of them had this quick revelation to change their lives and come work at SHE. Sad...

Sterling students went back to visit those girls before they left, and the 3 girls told us about a friend of theirs at the next bar over that might be interested in SHE. Last week (Thursday)Laurie, Mawn and myself were walking through Soi Easy and one of the girls grabbed us for a hug and to tell us that their friend was working and we should talk to her about SHE. We did - Mawn got her number and called her the next day (Friday) for lunch. She brought two friends with her (one of them is a girl who works free-lance on the street), was deeply touched by what we do here and was hired on the spot. She started work here yesterday (Monday).

If I'm not mistaken, the friend she brought with her is planning to start working at SHE the first of the month, too. :)

It is so good to be here and see the whole process of the seed being planted, watch and help with watering it, and then reap the harvest! Thank you Sterling students for your obedience and service here! The work you did will continue to grow and multiply far after you are gone, and this is just one example of that, which I am so happy to be able to report back to you! Yay God! :)
