But I'm glad I did - I love this post and those children are so beautiful! That's a wonderfully hard ministry to be invloved in. My husband and I both have been so moved by the plight of girls caught in sex trafficking and I pray for ways to make a difference. <br /><br />Oh, and I love the title, "Baby Bangs," as a mom of 4 kids and one who has been debating shaving the dang things off my own head! They are so not cute.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13814731673993578101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-76789175603784428292010-12-15T22:16:52.833-05:002010-12-15T22:16:52.833-05:00They are beautiful.

This ministry fulfills what James says to do as well as other passages about caring for orpans. To see what pure and undefiled religion looks like, one would have to look at As Our Own's ministry! All glory to Him.katiegfromtennesseehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02703849303062043642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-37487798879671943052010-12-14T09:48:04.252-05:002010-12-14T09:48:04.252-05:00What an amazing ministry!

I am so excited to see more and more people taking notice of this horrific practice and even more excited to see the beauty from ashes that only Jesus Christ can bring about!!

Singing and dancing and laughing and watch God shape them. i am ready to go back as soon as God says go. I am ready to live there. But I also know for now, I am here. And I can love them from here. I can live for their good. And I will choose to do that every day. I will tell their stories and I will find others who will join me in loving them. I am glad to walk alongside you and Curtis in loving these girls. I'd love, and I know the team I went with would love to sit with you both and tell you about the trip.

My husband works with many people from India, so that country is close to our heart. I first heard Ralph speak on Moody Radio on the way home from work about 3 years ago--that's when we became compelled to get involved with Charasia, both in prayer and financial support. We would love to be able to go to India someday when God provides us with the means to do so...to see all these precious ones we pray for in person.

That is beyond awesome! I love the way you and Curtis serve together. It may look different (somewhat) from other ministry couples, but it's inspiring. In case you were wondering, y'alls example makes it easier for me to wait for my husband as I long to serve Him better together, than apart, just like y'all do. : ) Excited to read more about this.Lindseehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13575555245582359975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24028336.post-89298092745746661652010-12-11T00:55:51.483-05:002010-12-11T00:55:51.483-05:00Oh Amanda, I am so happy about this for y'all....Oh Amanda, I am so happy about this for y'all.<br /><br />I feel so blessed to be able to pray for those precious girls and the ministry you will be able offer them.<br /><br />Looking forward to hearing more about it and how we can help!<br /><br />Love your heart.
