Hope for India

From June to August I will be traveling to India to work with victims of sex trafficking through an organization named Rahab's Rope. This verse from Isaiah is my hope and vision as I encounter these rescued women. The Lord promises to bind up the broken hearted, to comfort them and restore them. I am already praying for all the women I will encounter in India and I pray that the Lord will touch them and restore them with His Hope.

"The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion - to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor. They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations." Isaiah 61:1-4

day six

wehave had no power at the house here for quite awhile. they call the power "the current and it goes out everytime it rains and since it is therainy season, that is quite often haha. it isnt bad except the internet nor the fans work so communicating and staying cool are difficult. this morning the five of us girls had worship time on our own and tonight we are going back into the slums to have church with the women there.

this was the lords call to my heart this morning as it is for everyone so i thought i would share:

open up your heart, i am bursting with love for you
open up your heart i am longing for you
look my way my love
look my way child
its gonna be wild, its gonna be great, its gonna be full of me
open up your heart i am aching to be close to you
