“You’ve loved me too much.”
These are the words our new sister (as of Friday night!) said to us today as we gathered her around her to pray for her. We asked how the last couple of days have been for her and shared some encouraging words. She said nobody
has ever loved her this much.
She shared with us how she watched us all morning. She saw that we were comfortable there. What stood out to her is that we could open the fridge to get out food or get a drink of water. Next came the story of how she recently
spent 3 days with relatives who treated her like a slave and beat her. She then turned to the Pastor and said “don’t tell me husband I was here” because she could be beat for following Jesus.
I am hearing stories like this every night. My heart breaks for these women and I see everything that I’ve taken for granted in my life. I’m honored that God has brought ME to this country to speak life, truth and hope to His
precious daughters. We saw two salvations today. What?! Out of 12 people we spoke to today in church and in the village, 2 decided to follow Jesus today and 1 had joined us less than 48 hours before.
GOD IS MOVING HERE!!!!
This morning I preached on how no matter what is in our past, it can not stop us from the purpose God has for our future. I think about the choices I’ve made in my past and then see what God has chosen to do through me in 24 hours.
He is a good God. He redeems our pasts. He washes us clean. He gives us a bright future.
I want to keep seeing this happen. This is kingdom. This is love. This is multiplication of the Lords work in my life. I’m not the one who needs help, but the souls I am meeting everyday need truth spoken. You get the opportunity
to help women like her know they are loved and worth fighting by keeping me on the field!! I have 10 days left to reach my deadline! Please pray about clicking the donate button at the top of this page. Every donation is bringing love to someone who needs
it.
Love you all! Ashley
