Director's Message
Many people have asked me, "What inspired you to work with the prostitutes?" I have thought a lot about this, and I don’t really know what inspired me, but I remember the prayer I have prayed when I was growing up. My one fervent prayer has been, “God send me to places where people don’t want to go, and let me do things that people don’t want to do”. I have no idea what made me pray this prayer, a very innocent prayer, but today it has turned out to be the most powerful prayer of my life. So today, I am convinced that me beingpart of this ministry is God’s answer to my innocent yet sincere prayer. From the day I decided to journey in the lives of these broken women, there has never been any regret. I have enjoyed every day of my experiences with these women, and am all the more humbled to be serving God in such a wonderful way.
Miqlat Ministry started with a vision from God and a burden for the down trodden voiceless women of our Naga society. No wonder God blesses His people who work with deep commitment and genuine vision. As I look back, I’m truly amazed to see God stretching Miqlat since its inception. Miqlat Ministry aims to provide better alternatives for livelihood to women who have become victims of the sex trade, and thus avail them the opportunity to live a vibrant, dignified life, as well as helping them to understand God’s amazing love for them as individuals. We love them, respect them and accept them as family and as they are. We believe this simple act will nurture their faith to a great intensity. In all these years, we have experienced blessings showering from God enlightening and broadening the thin horizon of our lives. Miqlat has been blessed to see smiles in the lives of many who have forgotten to smile.
Most of the women who are now employed by Miqlat are trained in various capacities and are now working as paid staff members. It’s been such a humbling experience to see lives being transformed each day through this humble endeavour. We still have a long way to go for there are still many women out there in need of me, in need of you, and in need of Miqlat. So I urge you to seriously dip into the cause which is very common in our society today, and join hands with us and move along as we take the front line knowing that the battle belongs to God. Every one of you is welcome to be part of this exciting life-changing ministry and become a part of the revolution to help in-need women.
In the Service of the King of Kings !!!
