Anyways, I learned this week more about the trip and I wanted to share some of it with you. Throughout this process, I haven't been sure why Jesus asked me to go on this trip specifically- though I know hes asked me to. The other trip to Ecuador seems much more "my thing" with its focus being street evangelism. Yesterday I found out that during part of our time we will be participating in the Awaken Women's Conference and suddenly its all starting to make sense. The main purpose of this conference is to awaken women to who they are in Christ, to help them break free of the things holding them back. What a humbling thought. If you think about this conference in an American context its great and I imagine women being freed from insecurity, bad self image, abuse, heartache etc. But bring it to India and I see women getting freed from a culture that says they are worthless because they are women, a religion that doesn't place any value on them, a society that ( as you remember from the article I posted some time ago) says they are unwanted. My heart is aching but bursting because I am so saddened but at the same time overjoyed to think of the freedom that is coming to India, to these precious daughters of God.
If you cant tell, Im beyond excited. This countdown to June 14th seems like an eternity even though Im sure it will be here before I know it.
My prayer request today is for the women of Bihar we will meet. The women that God is already drawing to this conference. That their hearts will be open to receiving Christ's unfathomable love and desire for them. That nothing would hold them back from coming, from believing and from walking in that even after we leave. And I pray that for you to. I pray that for myself. Lets walk in the fullness of who we are as daughters today. [Same goes for you guys :)]
Yay for telling people about Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!
