The pilgrimage for me continues. The race ended for me in May of 2008. Here I am in India. The real life team I was leading has left India after all of the bomb craziness in Mumbai. They are happy, healthy, and at home 🙂 I am here in Calcutta with my sweet, wonderful, crazy friend Tammy. Its been surreal. Being here in Calcutta has floored me. I keep meeting all of these ordinary radicals, and they keep on pushing me to live beyond materialism and 401k plans and fancy vacations, i LOVE IT! We meet with with phenomenal organization called Freeset that is essentially setting women free from sex slavery in Calcutta’s red light districs. They are employing 150 women and their goal is to someday employ 10,000…meaning they’re dream is to free every sex worker in Calcutta. Its beautiful. My jaw literally was dragging on the floor as they walked us around their property. It was amazing, all of these women, freed. And it all started with a dream that the Lord gave this unassuming New Zealand couple. They packed up their three little kids and moved to India in obedience and that has radically changed lives…seeds that have fallen to the ground and died to the dreams of our culture and our world and alive to the dreams of our big, beautiful God. And then today, just a little woman named Agnes and her love for the poorest of poor…just another seed fallen to the ground. Just ordinary people, like you and me swept away by His love. So much more…not enough time to process.
