this past week has literally been full of emotions, lessons, and revelations. at training camp, THE LORD SPOKE- through visions and just directly to me. He revealed that He’s taking me into a new place of peace, freedom, and celebration. i saw myself entering into an open field that was flooded with sunshine, warmth, and tall grass. Jesus was there and i was free to dance, cry, sit at His feet, and celebrate. He’s bringing me into a new place of hope, light, and freedom to be who He created me to be!!! later that same day, i was sitting alone and i asked the Lord what He he has for me this summer in guatemala. how can i bring this “open field” to reality in guatemala?!? and once again He spoke! he said “love my children.” i was in awe. dang Jesus!
ever since we set foot in guatemala these revelations have been affirmed. our host, pastor juan, has a vision to raise up a new generation of leaders for Christ! to pour into the youth and give them hope! to literally. love. the. children. his church is even called NEW GENERATIONS!! whhaatt. this past week we’ve shared the Gospel in parks, prayed over the local police/fire department, laid a foundation for a “dream center”(a place for christians to worship and grow community), and loved on children! my team and I have become friends with some street children who sell trinkets/scrunchies in the local market. we buy them treats, play games, and teach them english words. we pray over their family and teach them bible lessons.
but y’all. this trip has not been easy. i came into this trip all wrong. i came in thinking i could do it alone and since i’m in a new place- i have freedom to just do it alone. boy was i wrong!! every thing here requires Gods presence and influence. the people are hungry for the Lord and only He can satisfy there questions and sufferings. only the Holy Spirit can move hearts and i’m truly only a vessel.
so i’m writing this blog to not only give you a glimpse at what life has been like recently but, to share how God is moving. He’s brought me into a place of peace and hope- a place of reliance. i’m basking in His light and sharing it with everyone around me. I’m dancing freely in both the joy and sadness! He’s lead me into a place of transparency and celebration- && BOY DOES IT FEEL GOOD!
love,
kate
