January 2008 Update

January 2008 has been a good month for JSASSN International.

I launched the JSASSN website, connected with several prayer partners in the western and central regions of the United States, and most importantly, had three major conversations with adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse about their past experiences. I continue to pray for these three women that God will heal them completely and strengthen them in their innermost being.

I also had a significant conversation with Mark Labberton, author of The Dangerous Act of Worship and senior fellow with the International Justice Mission. I learned that there is an IJM chapter on the Wheaton College campus that meets on Thursdays at 7pm to pray at the Brown House. I also began a conversation with a woman from my church, Church of the Savior, who works for the state of Illinois in sex trafficking prevention efforts.

JSASSN’s existence is starting to become known among my friends, relatives, and colleagues and, of course, to people on the web. I am praying that God will build the ministry with a strong foundation so that, as the walls go up, they will stand.
