Friend in dangerous abusive situation
Please pray for TK, AK, and SK. They are in a very abusive and dangerous situation. The Lord knows their need, and knows also that as we try to help them, our family is in some danger as well. Remember our family that we will follow the Lord and lead this family to the Lord most of all, and also that the Lord would protect and keep all safe.
I am texting back and forth with my friend right now, and the situation is escalating. I appreciate urgent prayer. It concerns domestic violence.

Re: Friend in dangerous abusive situation
Situation has somewhat diffused. Continue to keep this family in your prayers if you would. We have been friends with this family for several years. Husband very drunk, ill, and violent most of the time. Wife stays because she is an immigrant from a European country, and fears leaving him because he paid for all her immigration paperwork, etc., and much more involved in this situation, but the Lord knows it all. If you would just lift their names up in prayer, I know the Lord knows the answer to their situation.

Re: Friend in dangerous abusive situation
I am praying for this family and for yours, as well. Having grown up in an abusive home and also helping a friend in an abusive relationship, I know all too well both sides of the problems. Praying for protection, wisdom and God's intervention in this situation.

Thank you for praying! We want to be as careful in this situation as we possibly can, while sharing the gospel to this family when the opportunity arises. I am praying that through this situation, the Lord will become real to her, and ultimately lead to the salvation of the family.

Re: Friend in dangerous abusive situation
K By the W,
I am praying about this situation. That God will give wisdom to all involved and keep everybody safe. It sounds like regardless of the immigration situation this woman needs to get away from this abusive husband before she is seriously hurt or loses her life.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: Friend in dangerous abusive situation
CC1 and MawMaw - thank you both so much for praying! I truly believe the Lord is at work here, allowing us to become friends and I pray that the Lord gives me wisdom with the situation and allow His will to come about in their lives. I believe the Lord desires to work miraculously in this situation!
