Her mother was sold to a brothel in Gujarat by her husband. Yes, you heard that right... sold into a brothel by the man she married. After Riya was born, her mom fled to West Bengal with her daughter where she soon joined another brothel.
We thank God Riya is now with us, and we can give her a future filled with hope! Please keep her in your prayers. We've noticed some developmental disorders, which are clearly the effects of the life she was born into. We believe she will be completely restored in her soul and mentality, and she will flourish into the woman God has destined her to become.
Also, with the arrival of Riya, it seems that the Lord could potentially lead us into a whole new area of ministry. To rescue women trapped in prostitution. Riya's mom has expressed her desire to escape the horrendous life she was forced into, and with the wisdom of God, I believe we can help.
Thank you for helping us reach India for Jesus, one precious soul at a time.
With Love,
Mike Van Buskirk
