Day one of ministry outside of Zion's Gate was on Tuesday. Can I just be completely honest right now God rocked my world and flooded my heart with a love I can say I've never felt before. My team and I started the morning at 4am to travel about three hours to the ministry that we would be serving at for the day. We were all super excited because we would be working with teenage mothers who had been victims of rape and/or incest and their babies. Upon arrival we were greeted by the ministry founder who by the way is totally an Angelina Jolie in the movie Salt, only for the kingdom of God. She is an amazing woman of God who absolutely trusts Him 100% with her life. She not only cares for the teenage girls and their babies she also has a victim ministry and rescues women and children from all types of violence, to date she has helped about 4000 victims. She shared with us that her daughter was conceived through rape 26 years ago. She also shared that Honduras is the murder capital of the world, I was mind blown when I learned that. She had so many Courageous stories, she is definitely a modern day Ester. After a brief orientation she introduced us to the mothers, their babies, the staff, and gave us a tour of the property. Immediately I was drawn to this precious little 2 year old boy who to me was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. He immediately came to me smiling and I picked him up and he just embraced me. After holding him for a few minutes I felt strongly in my heart that I was to pray over him, so I asked if it was okay and right before I began to pray the holy spirit ministered to my heart and said pray for him like a mother would her child. I prayed for his life his past, present, and future, and in those moments a love weld up in me that I have never known, I mean I have a niece, nephew, and god children that I love dearly, but what I felt was even greater than that. I spent most of my time that day playing with, and loving on this little guy. Now that you know what was stirring in my heart let me share with you his story which initiated it all. This precious little guy was conceived through incest, his mother got pregnant by her father. About a year ago his mother who is under 18 years old abandoned him and planned to sell him so that she could live on her own means. He may have been conceived through incest, but he was born on PURPOSE, I know that God has an awesome plan for his life and I'm so grateful that He used me to be one of the vessels that declares that over him. Until yesterday I never knew what love at first sight was all about. I can only imagine the Father looking at us at first sight and saying how you got here may not make sense, or may have been an injustice, but I love you my child and YOU were born on purpose!
