getting to know the girls who are getting to know Jesus

every friday night for the past 6 weeks a team of us have been going to a smaller red light district and have had a focus of talking to the girls in the windows there. At the beginning of our time, the girls seemed reluctant to let us in if we got in at all. at the end of the 6 weeks, they were coming up to us or opening their doors for us to come in and we no longer had to initiate smiling or waving.. they would wave or smile first! we have seen incredible breakthrough with their response towards us simply wanting to talk and spend time with them.

Prayer and worship have been the forefront of seeing change in this place as well as burning hearts for Christs love to reign in this place!

On Friday night, 3 teams of 2 people went out to the less than 20 windows to talk to the girls. i felt to stay back and pray because i was so overwhelmed with what God has been doing here in Amsterdam that i needed to intercede for Gods heart for the area. We had an intense prayer time.

When the teams came back, none of us were expecting one of the teams to tell us that 2 of the girls they were talking to accepted Jesus as their Saviour! the best part of it all was we were all apart of it. its the same girls that all of us have talked to, or smiled at or prayed for. we know their faces.. we know their names.. we have prayed for them over and over again. it makes my heart leap for joy to see their hearts want something more. they want to get out of the windows.

i think i mentioned last week to keep the girls in the windows in your prayers because they want to leave the windows but need to stay because of financial reasons.. those girls i was talking about were the ones i visited last week that accepted Christ this week!

there is a bible study specifically for the girls in the windows that is open for them to attend as well as for them to do jewelry making.. both set up for them specifically by the missionaries working in the red light district.

continue to keep these girls in your prayers... God is doing something radically here and its obvious!

perspective

When reading the word it should come from not only a salvation perspective but a social perspective.

my generation has a warped view of evangelism because the generation before us left out an important part of the gospel- social justice.

my generation is really good at social justice, but it also needs to return to the important part of the gospel-evangelism. what does that look like to you...

i have been learning and reaching out to the girls in the windows in the red light district as well as pimps and traffickers. if you would like to donate, i am still in need of $1200! bless those that continue to pray and give!

salvations behind windows

hi friends and family! amsterdam has so far been epic. we have not only been learning about the reality of the sex industry and human trafficking around the world but have been visiting windows and have seen 3 salvations from the girls personally wanting a relationship with Jesus. what a thing to rejoice in. there is nothing like knowing Him fully for the first time in your life. that there is a man out there that loves them for their true identity. continue to pray for the girls in the windows as well as the pimps and traffickers that we reach out to as well.

amsterdam

i am so in awe of what God is doing ... He believes in me when i believe in Him.. haha. He is a good God.. if you haven't discovered His goodness.. step out in faith.. open that door.. take a chance.. He never leaves us nor forsakes us.

i finally found where i belong. in His presence .. in the secret place .. in that place, He leads me to go out to a hurting world..

today, i took a tour of the city with the 30 other students that are also doing the Shine Seminar.

you hear so much about the red light district.. a place that is obvious about what it does in secret as opposed to most of the rest of the world that does it in hiding..

shocking? eye opening? i guess in one sense.. in another it is shedding light on the fact that there is a problem.. and it doesn't end here in Amsterdam.. i am beyond ecstatic to learn about this issue.. and the knowledge that i will carry is not easy for anyone to hear or deal with unless they take it to God in prayer and in intercession and hopefully into action as well.

it is not an easy job to see what i will see and to see what i have already seen.. i know that.. but God has called me to do something that is bigger and greater than my own wants and desires.. but aligning what i want with what He wants.. and ultimately i want to see this eradicated through directing those in darkness to Jesus and His incredible love for them.

if you would like to partner with me in this.. you can with your donations..
which will help pay for my school fees that are not yet paid off in full.. i am still needing $1500.. thankyou! bless you!

FLUFF LIFE?

is my life fluffy when i am in 0 temperatures prayer walking for hours? or handing out coffee and tea to strangers?

is my life fluffy when i walk into phone booths that smell like urine and am ripping off porn?

is my life fluffy when i go to a city knowing a total of 3 people..making new friends.. and asking those people if i can sleep on their couch?

i wouldn't describe it as fluffy.. i would, however CHOOSE joy in my circumstances.. and because i choose joy in a depressed and worn out city.. maybe that is the one thing that will break the spirit over it.. knowing my IDENTITY in a city that has no idea who it is..

not fluffy.. Kingdom minded..Kingdom thinking.. because i don't let my circumstances burden me or get me down does not mean my life is fluffy..

i choose to know who i am in HIM today

My sistas n me!

He has risen indeed

Easter is my favourite holiday because it not only reminds me of God's glorious son, Jesus. And that I can rejoice in the finished work of the cross. It is a joyous season indeed to continually chose to be in God's glory in the midst of trials.. I love Him a lot.

"Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed"
1 Peter 4:12-13
