Good News from Love 146!

"The opening of the Love146 Round Home is just around the corner - April 28th! Each day final touches are being made to the home. The latest update had to do with the color of the home itself. I will be the first to admit that when we looked over the different color schemes I was a bit taken aback. I definitely did not expect loud colors and flamboyant designs to cover the Round Home! Along with these photos we received an email from Dr. Velazco explaining that the girls chose these colors. The girls said, “The different colors reflect that the girls inside are different and unique, and that we are colorful.” Dr. Velazco said that the girls identified with the “story” shown in the shapes and colors. Their faces lit up when they saw the orange especially, it stood out as triumphant and full of energy (just like these girls)."


The first thing a child needs after being liberated from sexual slavery and exploitation is a safe place.
Love146 is launching a $25 month campaign. All monthly donations support our Round Home in the Philippines, giving each child the safe place she needs.
Love146 Safehomes enable restoration through: Love, Safe Housing, Nutrition, Medical Care, Counseling, Education and Much More.

Continue to pray for these children and their safety.
And as much as I would would love to pray for God's judgment
on these men who are buying and taking these children, I feel more
compelled to pray for their salvation.
Pray that they would see their sin and their disgusting lives
that they're leading and that God would bring them to their
knees in repentance.
These men will held accountable to God for their actions.
But God loves them.
Even though their hearts are covered in filth and they
continue on in their lives like nothing has happened,
God still loves them.

"I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked,
but that the wicked turn from his way and live"
Ezekiel 33:11

I lack the compassion to see eye to eye with these men
and see them as sinners just as I am.
But All sin is a violation of our friendship with God.
I pray that He does give me the compassion I need to intercede for them.
As much as I want them to be judged, I do not desire that they spend
eternity in hell. God is gracious and can save the most wretched of sinners.
God, save these men.
