As a reader of my blog you may or may not have been reading other blogs from my squad…and thus you may or may not be aware of some stuff we’ve got going on up in Ho Chi Minh City.
After the first night spent at our little hotel we realized that the bottom floor of it is reserved for prostitutes and their clients. Since staying here we’ve been doing our best to keep an all-night prayer watch which we’ve been calling “Fire in the Night.”
My beautiful teammate and squad leader Stephanie Fisk writes a little more about it here.
Well, this coming Sunday night (which will be Sunday day for all you East Coast peeps) we’re setting up an all-night worship & prayer event to go to battle to intercede for this hotel and against human trafficking.
We want you to pray with us.
You see, once upon a time this hotel was used quite often for Christian pastors and conferences. But through the last 15 years or so things have changed, leading to today’s practices of rent-by-the-hour and such. So, the enemy has been squatting on this land for a while and has been bringing down these girls and their male clients with him.
But then God sent us to stay here (originally we were supposed to be at a different hotel, but the Vietnamese police intervened–little did they know they were being used by God to redirect our paths to this location so we can put up a fight).
Soooo, all that to say, Sunday night we’re gettin’ our spiritual armor dirty. We’re bringin’ it. Truth and light and love, all through prayer and praise and whatever God leads us to do.
God gave me Isaiah 60 to proclaim over this Vietnam. “Arise, SHINE, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord
rises upon you! See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is
over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears
over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness
of your dawn….”
rises upon you! See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is
over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears
over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness
of your dawn….”
Pray with us and we’ll let you know what happens.
