One of the long-term ministries done by the missionaries is a prostitute ministry where they go out once a week and minister to prostitutes trying to help them get off of the street. As a result of this ministry, they have begun a house called Lily House where women who are ready to have a different lifestyle can come and live. There is one family living in the house now. After giving up the life of prostitution, she accepted Christ into her life (which is not a requirement to live in the house.) There, she is taught computer skills, sewing, cooking, reading and even some salon skills so once she leaves the house, she can find a good job. This is a picture of Mimi's daughter, Gigi. I had the pleasure of hanging out with Mimi's three children today while people were fixing up the house just to keep them out of the way and having fun. It's amazing to think that a game of basketball, coloring together, or just taking a stroll on the beach with a child is helping to advance the kingdom. 
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 4:10-11
