This past Monday the club was closed because a movie was being filmed there. This means that all the women who work at the club were without work for a week. Please pray for the women as, no matter how we feel about the work they do, they were without their regular pay for an entire week.

We as Route One however did not waste time. We handed out flyers on previous Monday inviting the women to come hang out with us at Denny's. Two women came. It was great time of sharing. It was really great... we heard the women speak honestly of the emotional hardship in being 'dancer', dark thoughts and separation from family. It was a privileged to be able to 'eavesdrop' on their conversation as they compared notes on what it is like to be a dancer. We also were able to speak with them in their everyday life and hear more of their hearts for what they would like do if they could do anything. One woman shared her desire to graduate from high school and then attend college-another her desire to be in the PeaceCorp. Not only was the conversation good but the food was deliciously fattening as well. The women mentioned wanting to do this again, and for this we Praise the Lord.

Also, Route One is growing... we had our first official training session two weeks ago and we have doubled in size. Praise the Lord! We have a second and third training session coming up in both July and August. We will be partnering with Not for Sale Boston as we hear of sex trafficked survivors story and learning how to recognize sex trafficking in the clubs and around us. We are all volunteers and we need funding to keep moving forward, so don't forget to pray for this, for us and for the women we serve.
