Its all about Jesus!

One of my leaders talked about how they had a word form God for us. It was about a field and how we were planting the field and after our work was done we looked back and saw that it was still dry and nothing was growing yet. But that if we were to come back in time we would see growth. That word seems so true for us. We thought we would come in and help make a publication to get the word out on Human Trafficking and prostitution, and encourage the church in Panama to rise up and help in this need. Isn't it sooooo like God to have another plan and much better. After a month of being here and things moving in a slow pace, we had the opportunity to talk about this topic to some churches here in Panama. We realized we had already a publication in a 30 day prayer booklet for the Voiceless that has just been translated into Spanish.

Then God opened up doors to meet with prostitutes at a medical clinic every Wednesday morning. We passed out pieces of paper so that they can write down prayer request that we come together and pray for later. Also people asked for prayer personally or for family members. Prayer is an opportunity to break down a language barrier that many of us have. The Holy Spirit moves in prayer and thats the amazing part, that God chooses to use us. It becomes all about Jesus his plans and how each day he brings something new to show us and to be apart of. We want these women to know Jesus personally and also to know his huge love for them. I saw my friend Rachel almost in tears telling these women how much Jesus loves them.

Thats what matters to us! Some of these prayer request were to get out of prostitution. I can't imagine the horror of having to sleep with men for money and men who don't care about you, they are just there for themselves. The guilt and the shame that satan fills these women with is disgusting. Jesus first loved us and knows everything that we have done and never once does he take his love away. He loves these women and has given us the opportunity to share it with them. Lord it has been a blessing and a privaledge to be apart of what you are doing in Panama.
