Mongolia
Streams in the Desert, our partner in Mongolia, established a mission to help women and children escape prostitution by providing them income to sustain a new life and build a hopeful future free from their past.
Onoroo, a woman who attends fellowship with Streams in the Desert, gave her testimony of her experience.
“My character has changed so much since my old life. I used to be very loud and aggressive with a hard heart and character. Even my voice used to be like a man. It has been almost 3 years since I first came to Streams. I have been working with jewelry for a year and 5 months. At first I got no money but I enjoyed being here. I can now make things with my hands. I am so thankful to be here. My life has changed. I really have peace and satisfaction in this work. When I am here, I am fed spiritually.”
As more and more women in Mongolia search for better lifestyles, they turn to Streams in the Desert allowing others to see the difference in their attitudes and hearts.
“As the ladies that are coming to us are allowing the Lord to change them, it is leveling the ground for other ladies to begin to hope that it is possible to do something else; there is a life beyond prostitution,” says our partner in Mongolia.
Streams in the Desert hosts events such as Christmas parties and children’s days in order to promote relationship building and community strengthening.
“It is but a small beginning but I see a crack in the mountain and am encouraged to not despise it! Grace! Grace!”
Jewelry and products made by women at Streams in the Desert can be found in the Mongolia section of our website.
