There is a Christian charity called Project Rahab, who befriend women involved in the sex industry in Reading.  As part of the church's Big Challenge we felt that Project Rahab was a ministry that we would love to support and an organisation that Cherish could adopt.  As part of the £10 challange in 2006 we raised money to buy and put together small gift packs for the Rahab team to give to the women they work with.  The packs contained items like handcream, hats and scarf set, lip balm, and hair clips.  The Rahab team fedback that the packs were hugely appreciated by the women, with many of them being very moved and touched that people really did care about them.  It was a great practical way to show them the love of Jesus and it opened up relationships more between the women and those on the team.  We hope to be able to further support the work of Rahab in other practical ways in the future. 

There are several other ways, as Cherish that we can support Project Rahab.  Firstly we can pray for the team, specifically for their protection and for the women they are working with.  Secondly we can volunteer to get involved with the work.  Email Jo Kay ( This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ) if you are interested.
