Learning in this time of rest.


Trust….Thats what I tell myself…Trust. I am starting to really learn what it means to depend fully on Him.  This is not only for the spiritual but for the physical as well. I know…weird way round. I don’t think I am anywhere near to finishing my lesson on what it is to trust the Lord with the spiritual needs and how to hear Him in all situations; however I realise now how I was lacking in the education on how the Lord provides for us physically as well. I was very aware of this for the poorest of poor but didn’t think I would be under God’s radar for this lesson. I almost thought I know about it as I had seen it in friend’s lives; but how I was so wrong. However now I am that place with no back up plan if the Lord doesn’t provide, I feel I am in first grade. I am seeing miracles each day and the Lord providing for each need. I am not anywhere close to reaching that place of having everything sorted for Africa yet but I know…when it comes to the time. God will sort it.

I am really excited to get back to Africa and start this project with the prostitutes in the area. My heart just breaks hearing stories about mothers selling themselves for just 30 cents. I feel God calling me out and asking me to fight for justice. Fight for the love of the Fathers heart.  Fight for the destiny that these LADIES really have. This isn’t going to be a war as we have already won. This is going to be a friend inviting another to come out of this and becoming free. This is going to be a friend sitting down and asking them what they want in their life…Do you want to be a teacher? Artist? Childcare worker? This is going to be a time where we can work with each individual. This is going to be a time where the ladies do not have to fear anymore and they can more onward and upward.

I am looking forward to us building our safe house for the ladies that do want to come out of this line of work. It is going to be out of the city away from people that know them and their reputation. A place where they can start again and if they wish to, return a new person.

Please pray that we will get a big enough team in to be able to do each job that has to be done.
Please pray that I have the knowledge on what to do when I come face to face with each lady. I know each case will not be the same so I need to really hear from God with each person.

I hope and pray you are all doing well! If you would like to know more or if you have any prayer request please do email me!

Lots of love,
Ruth
