Growth

I couldn't go out with Jorge and Carmen tonight as Luchin was ill and we had to spend a huge chunk of the day and evening waiting at the hospital to see a doctor. 


Carmen told me that things went really well tonight. HN went up to them and got prayed for and then he went and brought a friend who prayed to receive the Lord. Other guys came around too after watching that and Jorge and Carmen spent some time with them. I'm glad, as the guys had been no shows for the last two weeks and I'm really glad that Jorge and Carmen can do this on their own and that the guys have accepted them. Definitely God's favor!


The only girl Carmen got to talk to tonight was EM who told her that she was finding it harder and harder to go out to the streets to work. The Holy Spirit is definitely at work!!!!! As EM talked to Carmen and Jorge, the police came and rounded off all the girls in a raid except EM because she was with Carmen and Jorge! Carmen didn't miss a beat in telling her that God protected her because she chose to talk to them and not work the streets. 


We really need to find a place to rent as a drop-in centre/office there soon. We can't have all these people give their lives to Christ and then have no follow up. Please pray for the right place and the right price rent. We haven't found anything yet.


I'm really glad that the work continues even when I can't go out with them. For a while there, one of the team was really afraid to go if I couldn't go because there was an incident with a mentally ill person throwing bread back after receiving it. However, now that the team knows that this is indeed a calling of God on their hearts and that God goes before them and that the same Holy Spirit that resides in me is in them, nothing can stop them. This has been on my heart a long time, to be able to raise up local leaders with the same vision to eventually continue the work.


Please keep praying for each one of the team. We covet your prayers as we constantly need to know what God wants us to do next and which step to take. 


Also for protection and wisdom and discernment. And love and grace.


Thank you.
