First day at the Brothels of Athens

First day at the Brothels of Athens

Today was my first day in Athens. The feelings I am having I can’t describe. Shock!

How do you go from being raised in a privileged country with so much privilege to walking the streets of Brothels in Athens, Greece? A place where prostitution is “legal” but no where do I see girls without bars on the windows, chains on the doors and “maidens” with them 24/7. These girls are not free! They are slaves and while this goes on the neighborhood continues in the cafes and restaurants as “business as usual”.

The only hope I saw within the 17 lights that hung outside of the windowless brothels was this picture. I pray it was painted for the girls in hopes that they might get a glance at how God see's them!

This is going to be a long road for me. Please pray for the blood of Christ over me and over these girls as I begin to sit with them and love on them. One girl at a time.
