I have been in India this month and it has been a whirlwind. This country is like none I have ever been to before for sure. It still has the caste system, and when you go to the slums or the nice areas, it is really noticeable it is still around.
This month I have been apart of ministry going to the slums and praying for people, as well as going to parks and helping spread the word about the worship school we are with for ministry. We have also gone to house churches and have done prayer walks.
Doing slum ministry has been pretty tough, just in the sense that they live in the type of poverty that most people can’t even comprehend. They live in shack housing that have no electricity or running water, and because of the caste system they are not allowed to try and move up in the world, so they bond together and make slum communities. Most of the people who live in these slums worship idols and are involved in Hinduism. Last week me and a couple of teammates were praying for a girl and she fell down while we were praying. There are a lot of things that people never experience, or if they did would just push it off, but the spiritual side of things in these countries is so prevalent that darkness is just everywhere. This girl manifested a demon and we prayed for her and basically fought the demon (with our prayers and with God not physically). It has happened to this same girl before we found out later that night. Its so crazy being out in the world and things like this does happen, just not back in the states. The devils greatest trick is to make people believe he doesn’t exist…. Well over here people believe in it, and demons pop up left and right all the time….the girl is good and we are following up on her, but if you could pray that her and her family can be set free from the oppression I would appreciate it!!
outside of things like this it has been a difficult month for me, the main reason is I cannot hardly sleep to save my life. I get about 5 hours of sleep a night at most, and its never restful. I try to nap during the day, but I never fall asleep. This whole month has been like I said one giant whirlwind. It has taken everything I am to stay focused on ministry, and some days it has gotten the best of me. I have prayed about it, and so has my team and still no rest. It has really hit me hard, and there are times I wonder is it worth it to continue giving all I am to this mission? Well the answer is yes its just been a hard month that is all!!! There are a couple contributing factors that didn’t help, like a car situation that came about back home, but Gods got it and not everything has been difficult.
I have continually been going to God with everything and it has been incredible. God recently dropped another bomb on me….he said you trusted me with your past, but you haven’t been trusting me with your future…this hit me deep and hes right (surprise surprise haha). There has been so much growth it is difficult to put into words just how much of me has changed!! It has only come through my walk with Christ and I will forever be changed! plus the food here is really amazing at least the food that doesnt melt your face off with spice!!!
