 My first night at the bars was honestly one of the worst nights of my life and also one of the best nights of my life.  I felt so attacked by Satan.  I won’t go into lengthy details, but basically, he took hold of a past I have been healed of and used it against me.  I was so unbelievably angry that he had the nerve to place a trap for me.  Thinking back now, I realize what a coward Satan was.  He attacked me with something I have already learned how to combat.  Is that really the best he could do?  Seriously?  Sure, I stumbled and spent...

So today was the first time we went out on our own into the bars. Boy, is God craycray. He works miracles in His own way. So we went to the first bar and i had a wonderful conversation with a lady there. She was absolutely adorable. It came up in conversation about whether she met many nice men, and the hurt and pain her eyes revealed when she said no was absolutely heartbreaking. My heart ached for her. Then a couple came up and the look in the man’s eyes when a woman was getting up onto the bar to dance was sickening. I left the bar with a broken attitude and pain instead of joy in...

This summer, I am serving an amazing God with an amazing group of women. These women have encouraged me, given me wisdom, but most importantly they have CHALLENGED me. I have spent many months preparing for my ministry to these women on Bangla, but starting in training camp, God broke me down, using my team mates. Each night as we would pray or just share what was on our hearts, I heard so many of my team mates say that their hearts broke just as much for the men on Bangla Road. “Love of my life, look deep in my eyes. There you will find what you need. Give me your life, the lust and...

  Before this trip, I couldn't really tell you that I ever got clear messages from God. Sure, he definitely had a hand in confirming this trip for me but I was still always filled with uncertainty. I went off feelings more than concrete knowledge. One night at training camp they told us we had to do listening prayer. I was like crap, I don't really hear from God. I was filled with doubt and worry. I decided to give it a try anyway and really open up my mind. When I did that night all I saw was this green dinosaur. I told my teammates and we kinda joked about it. I still...

                          It's Monday afternoon and we just got back from our first exposure and prayer walk on Bangla Road. Waking up this morning a new wave of the fear that I have been struggling with hit again. We have been somewhat sitting stagnant in this waiting process for the past few days…don’t get me wrong these have been an amazing few days after the dragging chaos of three days of travel but the reality of what we are walking into has been on the distant horizon until today.  ...

            Sorry about the delay in the blogs, in the business of getting into the routine of life something things are just forgotten and blogging is one of them. My team has gone out twice so far this week and will be going out tonight. Every night there have been battles and victories and we have been able to see how God is working through all of them.               One such victory is a woman named La. We walked into the bar where she works on Monday night and she was...
