Sharing the Love

Hello! We had a great week this week learning about evangelism with Nancy Vallese, one of our base directors. She has so many inspiring stories about her outreaches she has been involved in. It really made me excited for outreach and for evangelizing to people!!! We had an outreach on Thursday at Star Ferry Pier. We did the dance “Sometimes” and a drama called “The Chair.” We were planning on doing it twice, but we had some issues come up with another lady working in the area. Obviously there was some spiritual warfare going on! We did just one performance and talked to lots of people and there were 4 salvations that night! Sandra, from Germany, and I were ministry partners and we were able to talk to and pray for 2 different girls. One of the girls, Phyllis, was wearing blue, which we had gotten in intercession. She went to church, but didn’t have a relationship with Jesus. She wasn’t too interested in learning more either, but she was ok with us praying for her. The other girl, Phoebe, didn’t know anything about Jesus, and she didn’t seem like she wanted to talk, so we prayed for her and gave her a tract. She read it pretty intently for about 5-10 minutes after we had walked away. Please pray God continues to reveal Himself to these girls.

Yesterday, Christine from the Philippines, and Rachel and Lauren from England, and I went to a beach and went swimming. It wasn’t super hot, but it was nice and relaxing to get away from the village for awhile. Then we met up with the other girls from the base at The Vine Church for the One-Eighty young adults’ church service. It was a great service, and they ended up praying for us for an outreach we did after church.

We went down to Wan Chai. In this area there are a few blocks that have several strip clubs and bars. It kind of reminds me of Bourbon Street in New Orleans. We took roses and carnations and gave them to the girls that work in these clubs. Katie from Canada and Arianna (staff) from California and I went around together. We met 4 girls sitting outside of a club and gave them flowers. They were very talkative and we were able to pray for them. Then we were able to talk to 4 other girls from a couple of different clubs, but the opportunity didn’t come to pray for them because of the madams. Almost all of the girls that work in this area are from the Philippines. They come here to work because there aren’t places for them to find jobs back home. They often come for about 6 months and leave husbands, boyfriends, or even their own children to raise money. It’s so sad that this is one for the only means for them to earn money. Please just pray for all of the girls we all talked to last night. Pray that they can see that they are special and valuable in God’s eyes and that He has good plans for them.

Thanks so much for everything! This week we have Jimmy Stewart from the States. He will be talking on the Father Heart of God, so it will be an emotional week again. Pray for open hearts for God to move. Thanks again! Love you and miss you all!!!
