If you will, get a mental picture of a ring with two fighters. Four corners brought together by ropes. Two fighters in opposite corners. Blood and sweat all over the ring. The bell sounds and the fighters step up to begin the final round. Each fighter has bruises, blood, and pain.
Pause that image, and answer this question. What changed to get these fighters from the practice gym to the real fight?In the gym you get to use some padding, maybe some headgear, but eventually you have to step out and choose to be exposed. To get in the fight you have to be willing to get hit…willing to get hurt…willing to take a risk. There will be hard work and sweat…cuts and blood…no padding to soften the blows. Those that choose in will count all those things as a cost worth the fight for a VICTORY.
The women from my team and team LOGOS have been called up for a fight. We are leaving the practice gym, and gearing up for the
real fight. God has prepared us and trained us. Now he has asked
us to GO. We are about to expose ourselves and be vulnerable to
the pain. We are going to have our hearts broken and cut deep
within. Our hearts will bleed, but we will fight with the confidence
and the victory in sight. There will be several rounds, but we know
who ends up on top. Through all the tears and hurt, at the end of
the fight we will be standing with our hands raised. WE CHOOSE
IN! We will be fighting for the women in Thailand. Look at these faces of the prostitutes in Pattaya, Thailand. We will be fighting for them. One at a time, we will bring light to the darkness. One hit after another we will choose to fight!
Please fight with us! We will be going into the bars to build relationships with these women, in order to offer them a way out of this lifestyle. Fight with your prayers! Fight with words of encouragement or words from the Lord. Please intercede on their behalf, and ours. I know with everything in me that I WAS BORN to do this. These women are the reason why God created ME!
