I returned on Sunday from an absolutely amazing time in South Asia. What a joy it is to bring encouragement to brothers and sisters in Christ who are battling on the front lines every day. I want to share a few stories and pictures from the past couple of weeks. I, along with four others, saw the presence of God bring great changes on countenances of people that were clearly very weary and discouraged. Praise God for His timing in sending help when we need it!

Our first week was spent with a ministry that is working in the red light areas of their city. These sections of

Identifying strongholds in the red light areas

town are extensive and filled with every kind of evil, as well as very beautiful children that have been born into that environment. You can imagine the daily heartache of seeing woman and children trapped in sexual slavery and longing to see them free. These precious warriors are teaching women, both prostitutes and pimps, about the love of Jesus

Born into brothels

. They are also feeding and teaching children that have been born into brothels about the true God who loves them. Some of these precious children have even been moved into a safe house where they are healing emotionally, physically and spiritually.

One day, while in a Bible study in this area, God gave me a word of knowledge for a specific

woman concerning her being a strong leader. I talked to her about  using her leadership potential to lead people to Jesus. I later found out that she is a pimp. I am praying that her heart will be turned and she will become an advocate for those that are trapped. 

The second week, we flew to the other side of the country and began a very interactive conference with two ministries. One of the great challenges of this week was dual translation, since the ministries were from different states. Despite our human challenges, the presence of the Holy Spirit was powerful and many experienced the refreshing that they desperately needed.

Enjoying the presence of God

As a missionary in a mission organisation I have been working so many things but most of the time we forget God. So that we have been facing lot of problems in our work. It may be Socially, Spiritually and Financially. If we will go with God and feel God presence and centred the God Leadership in our work  God  will give  success in our work as well as our life. 

 

God truly amazed us all with His beautiful presence. The love that freely flowed amongst all of us was so sweet. I know that many were given strength to continue on. As for me, I was just blessed to be a part of what God is doing around the world.

 

To those of you who supported this work in any capacity, whether through giving, praying, or both, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. And my sweet friends in South Asia thank you, too. We will never know how many will be rescued out of Satan's hand because these soldiers were given sustenance to carry on.

Going for Him,

Stephanie
