SOAP PROJECT
We have just finished visiting hotels in the Triad area asking managers to put soaps labeled with the National Human Trafficking hot line number in their hotel bathrooms. Pam Mitchell headed up our project and we had an abundance of help! The wonderful ladies from Glenn View Baptist Church in Winston Salem labeled the soaps for us. Volunteers from many churches joined us to visit hotels, including a group of students from Elon University and a partner organization- Alamance for Freedom.
In our preliminary count, we were able to speak with managers in 40+ hotels. We left soaps in 39 of those hotels. One hotel took a packet of information. We gave out approximately 7,800 bars of soap! We had several hotel managers to welcome us with smiles, happy to have the soaps again. One hotel thanked us for the hot line information, sharing that they had once called the number regarding a situation in their hotel. Our goal is to increase the number of hotels each market. Please cover us in prayer as we continue to get the soaps to the hotels during each Furniture Market.

REFLECT HOPE
We believe that as the body of Christ, it is our responsibility to be the Light and physically REFLECT God's hope into the areas of Satan's darkness. Many women who work in the adult entertainment industry are victims of abuse and are at high risk or have already become a victim of sex trafficking.
Reflect Hope is a ministry dedicated to reaching these women. We have teams in Greensboro and Salisbury, made up of men and women from the Christian community who desire to see these women know the love of God and experience the freedom found in Christ.
Our teams visit the adult entertainment clubs once a month and take "pampering bags" to each woman. We have an abundance of volunteers who put these bags together for us and we are so grateful for their contributions and the love they show these women. We covet your prayers for these teams as they immerse themselves each month in this dark environment - for their safety, their reception with the club managers and the women and anyone else they may come in contact with during their visit.
