This past week God has had me working on really starting to walk His truths for my life. My team had a night of worship last week and we spent time looking at the mountains in our life and it was a great time for me to start the process of working through my biggest mountain. Through this time God lead me to Psalms 51:1-10 where it talks about being washed pure from our sins and guilt. These verses brought so much peace to my heart because that is the biggest truth that I am longing to walk in. The truth that the blood that Christ shed on the cross took all of my sins and that I am truly forgiven. God has been pouring truths over me and I’m really focusing on getting myself to believe them whole heartily and walk in them every day. A few of the truths He has me focusing on are: I am a daughter of the King, I am loved, I am forgiven, and I am washed white as snow. At the end of the night I sat in silence listening for Him to whisper something; anything. Before our team time ended that night I heard these words, “My beloved child, the blood I shed on the cross took this sin and I will help you overcome it.” How awesome is our Father?! He is so faithful in walking this journey out with me and I am in total awe of Him.
Our ministry has picked started to pick up a little bit which has been a blessing because my team is realizing that free time is hard as it gives us a lot of time to think about things back home or just about anything else. We have continued kindergarten ministry but our roles in that have picked up and we are now putting on mini skits for them and making crafts to give to them. It has been a lot better now that we are getting more involved and that helps us feel a lot more at home in what we’re doing. We have continued to go to a lot of church services but this upcoming weekend (friday-sunday) we are preaching, leading worship, and sharing testimonies at one of our churches so that is also starting to pick up. We are doing hospital ministry as well and that has been hard on my heart to see these kids that are terminally ill with cancer where a lot of them can’t get leave their beds. But, on the positive side of things, I have had opportunities to pray with the kids and parents and it has been amazing being used by God in that way. He is so present in the hospital and I’m trusting that He is holding these kids in His arms. A final ministry that we just started last night is called pan y chocolate and it’s a homeless ministry. This has by far been my favorite ministry so far as we spent the evening plating up and serving food and coffee to homeless who are so appreciative of it. It is so obvious that God is present in this ministry and in one evening there are around 700 homeless served throughout San Salvador; so amazing.
That is a really fast run down of what God is working on in me as well as what our ministry is looking like but if you have any more questions or want to know more details please don’t hesitate to email ([email protected]) or Facebook message me, I would love to chat when I can! Thank you for your continued prayers and support; you are all a blessing to me and knowing that I have the support back home helps me so much here each day.
Blessings,
