			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jean Towell, a founding board member of NFNL passed away in Abilene, Texas on April 18th.  Jean was a former member of the Preston Road Church of Christ where she, her husband LeRoy, and a small group of women helped to form Amy’s Friends, a ministry to help women leave the sex industry.  Jean was a friend and mentor to founder Amy DuPree and hosted the first protégé meetings in her home.  Jean worked tirelessly to ensure that the women felt safe, valued, and loved by God. She was instrumental in forming practices and policies that still influence the group which became New Friends New Life. Without Jean’s vision and compassion, the organization may never have been formalized. Jean will be remembered for her tenacious spirit and commitment to helping women know God.</p>

<p>Two women share their story of the vulnerability to abuse as children, finding themselves in the sex industry, and rebuilding their lives when they escaped. This video gives voice to common experiences and struggles many women in the sex industry and trafficked women have experienced. It also shares the hope, acceptance, and transformation they discovered when they came to New Friends New Life. They are proof there is a way out, families can be rebuilt, and hope can be restored.</p>
<p>New Friends New Life unveiled this video at the 2012 WINGS Luncheon video to highlight the stories of two brave women who have participated in the New Friends New Life program and to raise awareness about the risk factors for women and children in the sex industry. Thank you to our outstanding video team that used their skills and talents to share the voices and stories of these women.</p>
