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 19

Its friday! Yesterday we had 2 team members leave and its been an overall great week but I think its finally catching up to me. the newness has worn off and Im getting a little homesick... which is only natural I assume. Not having the internet makes this even harder but I got to skype with my mom today which was great. Im excited about having this weekend to just relax and take a break from everything, and hopefully start the week off strong on monday. I cant believe Im almost halfway through my time here, the weeks fly by but the days can get long at times. Sometimes im ready to go home and sometimes I cant believe how much time has passed.

prayer requests for this week:
- that my relationship with durga and sangamma continues to grow
- that our team can function smoothly with only 3 of us left
- for working internet, as always
- renewed energy for the upcoming week
