A young girl who escaped from sex slavery finds refuge at FCOPI

Can your luck get any worse? Sometimes it takes and angel to pull you out!

Imagine this: You’re a 14 year old girl, sold to a Muslim owned brothel, beaten regularly, and so disoriented you have no idea where home is. You are locked up most of the time, but commanded to clean up the kitchen, when the door is opened for you to carry out garbage.

The girl spotted a pick-up truck taxi, put the garbage down, and ran for the truck. She was gone before she was missed. She rode for hours, not having any money to pay the taxi and wanting to get as far away as possible. The taxi made its final stop at the traffic circle near our Center. The driver commanded everyone off the taxi and collected fares as they departed. When the girl couldn’t pay, the driver became angry and began shouting. A tuk-tuk (Motorcycle pulled cart) driver heard the shouting (He was either a church member or an angel – we vote for angel because we don’t t know of any members operating tuk-tuks in that area.) He paid the fare and brought her to our center.

She had become dehydrated, to the point of being delirious, bruised from her beatings, and unbeknownst  to her, 6 months pregnant. Dr. Lina put her into our hospital. The first Sunday here she received Christ. Lina nursed her to health, and last month she gave birth to Sou Solomon, a healthy baby boy.  Sou for Mak Sou who authorized her acceptance, and Solomon for Dr. Lina, the wisest man on earth.
