HISTORY OF RWF
The vision for the ministry was given by God to Mrs. Adenike Temitope Adeyemi.

Here is how it all started: The Lord has always ministered to me from Isaiah 60: 1-4, since the time I gave my life to Jesus Christ in 1986, then as an undergraduate of Architecture of O.A.U Ife, Nigeria. I knew that I would minister to people in a practical way. Sometime in 1997, I began to have a burden for prostitutes, girls who stand by the way side waiting to be picked up by men. How could a young girl or any woman sell her body in exchange for money? I asked myself but I found it hard to condemn them. (Read John 8:1 Jesus mindset about a woman that was accused of adultery). I began to think about ways to reach anyone of these girls in order to help them and give them other options apart from sex in exchange for money. Surely there were other dignifying ways to make money, to work as a maid could even put them on the path of a favorable destiny.

With this burden that would not leave me, compassion flowed in my heart towards them. I knew that to help them was of God. I began sharing this experience with people around me and we began to pray about this situation; asking God for direction and salvation of their souls. I found an opportunity to visit a brothel where some of these young girls live. This place was discovered by a pastor in our church who gave a lady a lift. He tried to tell her about Christ on the way before he dropped her off. But he discovered she lived in a brothel and that she was a prostitute. While he preached one Wednesday evening he mentioned this encounter and I asked him more about it. Unknown to him I had a burden for such girls. He took me to the brothels where he had dropped off this lady. From then on I began to visit this place frequently and talked to these ladies one-on-one.

Before this time I had ministered to women in general. I discovered that one of my gifts is compassion towards the needy and underprivileged. I disliked the abuse of women and cheating of others. I love to see women enlightened enough to be liberated without jeopardizing their God given relationships with men and their position in the marriage and family setting. What is the future of these women in crisis, prostitutes? If not helped, they will produce more abandoned/ unwanted children and orphans, as they become victims of AIDS themselves. This creative thinking led me to begin a search for accommodation for them. I have discovered that for almost every one of these girls that I talked with, their problem stemmed not only from poverty but a background of rape, abuse, incest and even broken homes. Many of them came from a particular part of our country, yet they change their real names. They came to Lagos in search of greener pastures and “better life”. But is this really a better life? I asked them.

We began the search for a place where I could make a home for as many of them as were willing to leave and give up their lifestyle. The finances seemed far-fetched… until 2002 when we finally got a 5 bedroom apartment where we have furnished to suit their needs. This is made possible as people around us give material things and money towards this scheme as well as the support of my husband Pastor Sam Adeyemi and our home Church; Daystar Christian Centre. We are here to affect our community positively and help to get rid of societal ills such as this one.
