Whether you have been a Damsel Pro for many years or are just joining us, you know that we are extremely passionate about our Damsel House project. Nothing gets the Damsel Home Office more excited than when we get a Damsel House update to see all our amazing Damsel Pros and customers have accomplished. Today we would like to share with you, a special story about one of the girls that have been rescued through this program.
Lina’s Story:
A year ago at age 17, Lina was in a difficult place. Her mother, a widow, lost her job when COVID-19 struck the country and they desperately needed an income.
To support her family, Lina worked in beer gardens and KTV bars. Our rescue agents found her and helped rescue her from those dark places. Lina was thankful she could walk out of that situation and have freedom.
Lina came to live in our residential home in an undisclosed location where she learned many things. She learned about her emotions and the effects of trauma, how to grow and allow herself to heal. In addition to classes that teach important life skills, Lina took a health class and received internet safety training. She also pursued salon training alongside other skills.
Lina was deeply interested in learning more about God and Jesus Christ. The staff provided Bible classes and she joined them at church to see if God was real. As she kept seeking the Lord and learned about Christianity, the Holy Spirit touched her heart and healed the past experiences in her life. She felt God was faithful and merciful for all people, and decided to believe in Him.
During this time, Joe, Destiny Rescue country manager in an undisclosed location, stepped into the team and had a significant impact on Lina. She saw him declare with words and actions that God is real and He loves his people. Joe offered to disciple and baptize anyone who was interested. Lina put up her hand and declared, “I believe in Christ Jesus as my savior and proclaim that He is the son of God.” She got baptized in January.
Recently, Lina graduated from vocational training. She said, “It is not easy to get to this point…I would love to encourage my next generation to be strong and to work through the hard times.” After graduation, Lina had an important job interview and our staff helped her prepare. “I would love to say thank you to all the Destiny Rescue staff who have been trying their best to help me and my friends here.” She passed the interview and now is the stock controller for a private construction company. With careful attention to detail, she keeps records of the company’s transactions and inventory.
As gathering restrictions relaxed and churches opened their doors again, Lina was passionate and sought out churches. She now attends church alongside some Destiny Rescue staff. Lina is happy, and we are happy for her.
