Praying on the streets of Vancouver

Friday night I had the privalege to go with Aaron, the couple we are staying with (Jenea & Donny), and another young man named Garret, to the streets, in hopes of meeting and praying with prostitued women.  We walked to one of the hardcore areas and had the opportunity to spend significant time with a very young lady named Vivian.  After light chit chat, Jenea asked her if there was anything we could pray for her about.  She was very open to us and said she wanted to be happy, that she was depressed alot.  We prayed that Jesus would reveal Himself to her, that He would show her that He was the only one who could fill the emptiness in her heart.  We prayed for protection, provision and that she would understand how much He loved her and died for her.  After a few minutes of prayer, we told her that Jesus was the only one who could help her be happy.  And reaffirmed to her that He loved her.  She was very open to us.  She let us give her a number that she could call if she wanted to get off the streets and have a chance for a different life.  She asked us to pray for her sister, Venus, who was more messed up than she was.
Please lift up Vivian and Venus in prayer.
