Breaking Chains Network updated their information in their About section.

There are well-intentioned people who think allowing men to purchase the bodies of vulnerable women and girls is somehow a good thing. They think making s*x buying, pimping, and brothel-owning fully legal would be “safe” or “empowering” for women. But these ideas are just a clever narrative pushed by the s*x industry’s predatory profiteers. Research reveals that one of the most dehumanizing and dangerous places for a woman to be is in the s*x industry, and most women who are in it want to escape. Countries that have fully legalized the purchase of s*x have seen an increase in trafficking and have had disastrous results due to the surge of demand for violent s*x acts. One woman who survived New Zealand’s fully legal s*x industry shared, “I thought legal prostitution would give more power and rights to the women, but I soon realized the opposite was true.”

For these reasons, Exodus Cry is honored to be among the many anti-trafficking organizations who stand firmly behind the Abolition Model (aka Nordic Model or Equality Model) because this is the only model of legislation that reduces trafficking and offers services to exploited women so they can break free from prostitution.

We are working our way through the book of John.

We have started The Entrepreneur Academy with our first students. We are holding these classes twice a week in addition to our weekly ministry, English, Dutch, and sewing classes.

We are very happy to say that we have opened up the Oasis Center again!

It’s been a challenge over the last couple months to navigate how to effectively help and make a difference when you cannot physically be together. But through the creativity of our team, we have used social media to connect personally and share devotional videos.

Now that we are able to meet in person, we have begun a weekly exercise group, to explore the city and enjoy the beautiful weather. Also, a weekly lunch is being provided with a time to share God’s word and encourage one another. All the while, we are being highly “covid cautious”. Masks and social distancing are required!

Please pray for needs to be met, new job opportunities and that hearts will be drawn to the Savior of our soul!

Hello friends, we have had to close the Oasis Center temporarily. The government will not allow groups to meet and as of today we are under mandatory quarantine. We are making every effort to contact friends of the Oasis to make sure everyone is okay, has what they need, and to see how we can pray for them or encourage them. We are grateful for your continued prayer covering!

We now have color on the walls and kitchen cabinets installed! We are so thankful for all of the hard work from this missions team. Please pray for them as they travel home today. @ Antwerp, Belgium

Another full day of work on the Oasis Center. @ Antwerp, Belgium

Today is International Women’s Day. Tomorrow we will pass out flowers and cards to the women in Antwerp. Please pray for each one that will receive these gifts.

One of the classes we offer in our Oasis Center are English classes. We are beginning a new business course this month, we just started the Alpha Course again, and looking to start Flemish classes in the future. So many exciting things happening at the Oasis.

Some of our team members ready for coffee outreach.

Last October, two members of our BCN team went to Cyprus for training to become facilitators with Itzinya Entrepreneur Academy. This March we will begin offering this course in Antwerp at our Oasis Center for ladies who are interested in a new start.

We have started a new Alpha Course for ladies who missed the first course. This series was very popular the first time we used it. We are excited to begin it again.

We love our special times sitting around a table talking and making jewelry together.

Baskets are packed and ready for outreach.

A Woman's Take On The Super Bowl Halftime Show And Human Dignity. . . - CPYU We need healthy discussion about what happened on Sunday night at halftime of the Super Bowl. Here's an insightful female perspective. . .

It's not uncommon to hear arguments in favor of "s*x work"—that we should support the s*x industry for the sake of those who are there by choice. Actually, the number of prostituted individuals who've chosen to be there is incredibly small compared to those who are trafficked, coerced, or drawn into the s*x industry by abuse or desperate circumstances. We can never support an industry whose success is overwhelmingly built on the exploited vulnerability of its "workforce." Learn more of the truth: go.exoduscry.com/confused
