This blog is a continuation of Part 1. Feel free to read it before proceeding.
 
Throughout eleven months in eleven countries, God allowed my spiritual eyes to be opened to KINGDOM REALITIES.
With my eyes, I saw pain, hurt and brokenness. But with HIS eyes, I saw:  

JOY in the midst of POVERTY.

 

HUNGER in the midst of OPPRESSION.
 


HOPE in the midst of ADDICTION.
 


PERSEVERANCE in the midst of SORROW.
 


FREEDOM in the midst of TORMENT.
 


RESTORATION in the midst of ABUSE.
 

NEW LIFE in the midst of WEARINESS.
 


LOVE in the midst of REJECTION. 
 


PASSION in the midst of COMPLACENCY.
 
 


EMBRACE in the midst of ABANDONMENT.
 


TRANSFORMATION in the midst of SUFFERING.



 

All of these things and more have led me to believe there is reason for hope. Love always wins. The light truly does illuminate the darkness!
 
So now that I have seen these kingdom realities, what am I doing about it? Find out in Part 3.
