Laurie Ishii and Daryl Bargy

Praise God! Things are coming together... A few months ago we seemed to come to a "wall" as far as getting our 501C3 - non-profit organization tax ID number. Daryl said that we needed a lawyer, and money, etc. which may have been true - but I also felt that if God wanted us to get it, that He would provide everything we needed - so we just gave it up to Him to take care of. What I mean by that is that we just prayed that God would bring the people, the finances, etc. to start moving forward - and that we would do whatever He told us to do. I really felt strongly at the new year that the Lord wanted us to take some action and start asking around… Read More

Man. This weekend was long. Getting up at 2am (to make hot chocolate) and picking Bobby up and going out on the streets till about 5am wore me out. It always has. My body usually takes a few days after the outreach to recover.Ever since I contracted the Hepatitis C virus - my health has seemed to steadily decline. I already suffered from Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Herpes 1&2 which all mess with a person's immune system, so when first got the Hep C it didn't make anything better! Before I was even diagnosed, I kept telling Daryl that something was wrong with me, I felt like I was dying inside. At least when I was diagnosed I knew… Read More

Please Pray for our Pimp and Prostitute Ministry! Daryl and I are excited for this year! We are still ministering to both the pimps and prostitutes on the streets of LA, Hollywood and the Valley. Last year we were able to rescue one lady from being hurt or kidnapped by three pimps‚Ķ We were with all women, except for Daryl ‚Äì in a van. We had been ministering to some of the ladies (prostitutes) on the street and we gathered up to leave. As we started down the street, we heard blood curdling SCREAMING, over and over! I had our driver to pull over and see what was happening. There was a young lady running down the street with a pimp chasing… Read More

It's New Years day, and myspace is down (I can't log in) and I've caught up with all of my e-mails on Yahoo since early this morning. So...I have decided to write a bit about ministering to the pimps and prostitutes. This year my heart is to share more about the outreaches and less about my personal life. This web site has been more like a journal than anything else, although the last couple of years I have shared a lot about the prostitute outreach. Unfortunately, because of¬† a couple of people getting offended by some of the things I shared, I deleted everything and started all over. Originally I saved it all on my computer - but a couple… Read More

Wow. Another year! It flew by - especially the last few months. I am looking forward for this year. The Lord has really been "tightening the screws" if you know what I mean... Yesterday at church our Pastor, Tim - spoke about the book of Daniel - about walking in integrity and purity and how we are called to live for Jesus - not for ourselves. I'm paraphrasing a lot but it was a really good message and many times what God speaks to us as individuals may not exactly have to do with the message spoken... For example, Tim spoke about the book of Daniel, but the Lord has been really convicting me about my prayer life, and my diet. Because Daryl and… Read More
