As we continue our journey through the darkness God has brought moments of light to all. The stories continue and God's blessings are new every morning! There are times we just sit on the bus looking at one another in amazement over God's beauty and the tender hearts of a people group so lost. Being able to smile and share has been a gift from our Father as we unite together as daughters' of the King.
This morning as you wake up and hit the snooze button's of your alarm clocks we will be welcoming women from two of our safe houses to feast at the Lord's table. Showing them through games, worship, gifts, wedding cakes, ice sculptures, and delicious Chinese food, we LONG for them to feel the BEAUTY in which God sees in them...We continue to let them know "Blessed is HE who is in you, than he who is in the world."
One safe house woman said, "when I had money I was not happy, now that I have no money I am so happy." It is the cry of our hearts to wrap arms of love around these women and show them that God is a god of love and compassion, HE RESCUES, REDEEMS, RESTORES, AND EMPOWERS!" Amen? -- Amen!
On the lighter side: God has continued to fill us with the Joy of the Lord as we get to know ourselves better and know each other. We have women (such as Lora Harrington) who after outreach, woke up the next day, went the bathroom and found money in her undergarments, we laughed and laughed...There are days we are so tired we don't know what we are doing.
Everyone survived the night market last night without leaving with too many shopping bags...although we need to pray for these people as they smack money around their shop after the first customer has paid in order to bring luck and wealth for the night. So lost to who is the real and living God even something as pleasant as shopping is to most women has become a testimony of our faith as we reach out to this wounded city in love.
Dancing elephants at the rose garden brightened our faces, and some of use fed, rode, and got our pictures with these amazing elephants. Thank goodness for Purell sanitizer!!!
More stories are coming as we continue to experience Internet trouble...please bear with us, and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for following our journey and praying through our schedules. Please pray tonight for unity, love, and God's precious spirit to overflow and fill the hearts of each women tonight as we rejoice in God's truth together!
