God’s Salvation Vs. Traumatized Orphan
The harshness of the lives some of our orphans have led is sometimes mind boggling. But the horrors they have endured are no match for God’s incredible love and salvation.
I have written recently about a new addition to our Beauty from Ashes Center for Orphan Girls, Sarmanca. Through tears Sarmanca opened up to our house mother, Eva, and told her about how her husband let his new group of “friends” use her in perverse ways and how he would rent her out for money!
We were floored and disgusted.
Eva prayed with her and all Sarmanca could say was, “I want to be clean, can I ever be clean?”
After we posted a video on our Facebook page about Sarmanca’s life, our director, Andreea, sent it to the members of her church. They felt very burdened to do something for Sarmanca. The whole church began praying for her.
Sunday, Sarmanca went to church with Andreea and she prayed to accept Christ into her life! She is passionate about reading her Bible and praying. She wants to be baptized as soon as possible!
God has made her clean! Her past is no match for His salvation.
The road to recovery will not be easy. Already she has faced many hurdles. But the spiritual journey has started. Please pray for her and her new life in Christ!
