Salvation Army Today – 1.21.2020 – Pearl Essence New York City // @sarmytoday
The Salvation Army in Greater New York Division’s Pearl Essence is an outreach effort focusing on illicit massage parlors and strip clubs where women and girls are often exploited. Once a month, outreach teams will go to different locations where women are working and offer an uplifting gift such as lip gloss, nail polish or jewelry.
Along with the gift, they will be given a card with information on a free lunch program, where they can attend ESL classes and how to reach out to The Salvation Army. With each visit, the message to those who have been oppressed by exploitation and abuse is that they are: Purposed, Empowered, Appreciated, Respected and Loved (PEARL).
Through this ministry and outreach, The Salvation Army Pearl Essence program hopes to become a trusted friend walking alongside these women and girls on their journey towards liberty.
