As far as ministry here in Nicaragua, I wish I could say that I have been “all in” since we got here but that’s just not the truth. I have been struggling to find my purpose here. I don’t feel like I’m needed as much here as I was in Honduras. At least that was the excuse I have been telling myself and everyone else for the last week. Yesterday was really the first time I tried to be intentional with some of the people here and I’m beginning to figure out why God has brought me here.
[bondage]
After talking to some of the women here, I have found out that alcohol and sex are some of the major issues that many of the people struggle with here. My past is definitely a great testimony of God’s redemption, which I think He is going to use to bring healing to some of the women and girls here in this community. He brought me out of dark places filled with drinking and sexual immorality and into the light where He has healed and restored my life. That is my prayer for this month. That my testimony of God’s redemption and restoration in my life can bring healing to the women in this community.
[break every chain]
I used to be in bondage to my sin. I felt like I was locked up and I couldn’t break free. Now, I am experiencing freedom like never before. I pray that these women could experience the same freedom that only God can give. I pray that they could break out of the cycle they are stuck in and experience God’s peace and love like they have never felt it before in their lives. I pray that they will begin to walk in the truth and life God has called them to.
