Sex mobs target Egypt's women

’Men don’t have to worry about being caught’: Sex mobs target Egypt’s women

i saw this in the news today.. women can't walk down the street in Egypt for fear of being sexually aussalted.. this is unjust in so many ways and my anger can only be filtered through praying for justice to come to Egypt.

i remember when i was in Bangladesh a little less than 2 years ago. it is mostly Muslim and even though we were white, we had extreme limitations with how we dressed and acted in public. mostly because of how the men reacted to us. when we were out in the village, we had to stay inside the gates for protection.. not because we were white, but because we were women. i will never forget one of the days i was sitting inside.. some of the girls were cooking food.. and i was peering through the cracks in the brick outside at all of the boys playing soccer wishing i was able to play as well... and thought... wow.. i will leave this place and these girls will still be here.. trapped inside for their own 'safety' .. it angers me because i know what it feels like.. it angers me because its not okay for any person to be treated this way just because of their gender.

please keep Egypt in your prayers in this season of torment and corruption.

svaty mikulas-st. nicholas

happy Svaty Mikulas day!.. he saved 3 girls from the life of prostitution. encouraged as that is my focus here in London at the moment. here is a little more about him...honoring the Saints and the testimonies of their lives that were spent sacrificing, serving and loving God and others.

"Saint Nicholas (or Svätý Mikuláš in Slovak) was a pilgrim and later a bishop and a saint born in the year 270AD in the town of Myra, in the present-day Turkey. He became famous for his extended generosity, secret gift-giving and performing miracles for the poor and the unlucky. As such, he became the patron of humanitarian brotherhoods, sailors, unmarried women, tradesmen, students and so on. He is also the patron saint of Russia and Greece. Saint Nicholas Day celebrates the life of this philanthropist, who passed away on December 6th, 346AD.

Among his most famous good deeds was saving three girls from the life of prostitution. According to the legend, their dad, a poor man, could not afford the dowry. Since he didn’t want his daughters to remain unmarried, he forced them to work this way to earn some money. When St. Nicholas learned of this misgiving, he started throwing sacks of gold coins through the girls’ windows. After three days (or three years, depending on the source), the father realized the error of his ways (or had enough money saved up). There are many variations of this story. In some, St. Nicholas tosses the coins down the chimney. In others, the coins land in one of the girl’s stockings, which she left out to dry.

Does this sound bit like the story of the American Santa Claus? Well, it ought to! See, the Dutch name for St. Nicholas is Sinterklaas, which had morphed into Santa Claus. Santa even looks very much like St. Nick. The difference is that St. Nicholas is wears a bishop’s hat (rd to match his coat) and holds a long bishop stick capped with a spiral."

Soho and Muslims

Tonight I joined a team that passes out tea and coffee in soho (the red light district of London) i was talking to one of the guys and told him I lived in east ham.. He then told me that it is filled with Muslims and people from Bangladesh .. I find that sooo God

Why is that sooooo God you might ask?

Well.. While I was in tanzania (a Muslim nation) and Bangladesh was when God was confirming for me to come to London..

Haha.

So am lifting and praising God in a Muslim area where they want to put a mosque 4x the size of St. Paul's cathedral .. Yep Jesus def needs to be in the area I rest my head every night.

So basically tonight we passed out tea and coffee to people in the area right in the middle of where sex and lust is rampant. It was a lighter approach to what I am used to, which is going into brothels to talk to girls but effective all the same. The relationships that they have built in the area because of their consistency in coming every Thursday is rad to see. Might come next Thursday even though my toes almost fell off from the cold. I might need to invest In warmer shoes.. Man it's like a freaking real winter!

Okay..going home now to Muslim territory claiming it in the name of Jesus.. My trek home not only takes an hour and a half but its a combination of walking and riding the tube and the bus... I'll get used to it one of these days! xx

you received without paying, give without pay

i find it funny.. and soooo God to know that i was sent by Him to come to London. i am reminded when Jesus sent the 12 disciples out saying.. "and proclaim as you go by saying.. the kingdom of heaven is at hand.. heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons.. you received without paying, give without pay" its a free gift and an incredible message.. an incredible privilege to be apart of the kingdom work God is doing in London..

i have already been given the opportunity to pray for a lady and cast out a demon that was tormenting her. i didn't grow up in a pentecostal church and thought it was a show.. in fact, i didn't believe demons could torment people but heard many stories about it and read about it in the bible. never experienced it first hand til i went to Africa where they are more aware of the spiritual realm and expected it there, but, to be quite honest, didn't expect to come across it 5 days after arriving in London.

On wednesday night, the local church here does an event for the homeless called the great feast. It encompasses food, a message, a lecture on hygiene and massages if they want. one of the ladies stuck out to me as she seemed like she wanted to talk and seemed a bit anxious. a few minutes later, the pastor asked me if i could come pray with him and a lady which happened to be the lady that i had seen earlier. as we sat down to talk with her, she began telling us about her demonic dreams.. there was nothing pretty about them and she explained in detail. she then started explaining about her experience with church and how people hated her at the church she was going to.. she got incredibly aggressive at the pastor and started pointing at him and accusing him like she was talking to the people she didn't get along with at the church and saying they hated her and the pastor needed to put them in their place. she had incredible hatred and aggression towards them.

she asked us if we would pray for her and continued to ask us to pray over her.. the pastor told her that if she continues to have anger towards the people at her church then she will continue to be tormented and we will pray for her if she wants to forgive them.. after an hour of telling her and explaining to her that it is her choice to forgive, she decided she wanted to forgive them.. She began praying and forgiving them and said their names, she then began to cry.. louder and louder until she was shouting and screaming and fell to the ground speaking in a demonic tone. luckily everyone had left, so there was only a few people left during the shrieking. we then began doing deliverance and telling the spirits that were tormenting her to come out.. it was incredible to see the spiritual happening in the physical right before my eyes and that the spirit of God inside of me has the authority and power to speak demonic spirits to come out of her and flee.. wow! the power of God is incredible. she came off the floor of the church and she was surprised at what had happened.. saying that felt horrible and now she felt so much better. the freedom of the Lord is incredible and God is so good.. i can testify of His goodness to bring freedom to myself as well as others. He fights for us! praise God.

we get to pray for people... and there is no cost and there is no other incredible power like the power of God.. you received without paying, give without pay.

bible distribution

distributing bibles today.. so good! in the cold.. but loved every minute. there were so many people that didn't want one, but the few that did brought a smile to my face as they got the free bible in their hands! i pray that they get revelation of God's love for them as they read the words of truth.

counting my blessings!

i was able to see all of the money come in to pay off the staff fees as well as money come in for me to purchase my plane ticket to London. yeah.. talk about blessings. i now need $300 to come in by tuesday (when i leave for London) so i have finances once i am in the city for the first 3 weeks!

God is so good. keep me in your prayers! exciting times. so happy that i get to partner with peeps.

NoVeMBer

wow. the past 6 months have been a buzz and blur of God moving and working through me and those that i have been blessed to be surrounded by in Western Australia as well as my time in London during the Olympics. What an amazing experience to work on the streets and do ministry in both places!

Perth~ I was able to work alongside peeps who love Jesus and want to see His name glorified in the nations and that passion is contagious! it spreads like wild fire and we all catch it! My favorite times during the weeks in Perth was thursday night evangelism. The entire base would go in small groups into the city and talk to people on the streets about Jesus. Those conversations that i had with randoms gave me a fresh new perspective of people and that each and every individual is precious in His eyes. i loved hearing about their lives and their stories and how some people just need someone to talk to and love them! How simple!!! i would get revelation after thursday nights.. it would be like more shackles would fall off me of how i viewed people and the world and what would be shouting in its place was simple LOVE.

London~ I was in London for 4 weeks during the Olympics, an experience i won’t soon forget. Advocating against human trafficking and reaching out to prostitutes on the streets was extremely rewarding and beneficial. Soho (red light district of London) is crawling with seedy places, which brings seedy people and was the perfect place for us to do ministry. While i was there, there was no doubt in my mind that it was exactly where God wanted me to continue doing ministry and the city God wanted me to invest in through prayers and advocation.

What’s next~ as most of you know, i am planning to move to London in mid-Nov. So by the time you get this letter i hope to be in London or in preparation to go. I need your prayers… i need your prayers… i need your prayers! God wants to continue to wake up London from its slumber, and pump it with the living love of God! if you feel led to give as well, finances have always been a need..

i can’t wait for the day i can say i have my full financial support! until then, i am in need of $800 a month. if you would like to give, there is a paypal option above.

Isaiah 60.. you are an incredible blessing!
