Training for change

This week has been intense.  We have guests here to help the work at Freedom Home.  Kyle is a Pastor and Christian counselor who trained the staff last year and is doing so again this year.  He is also counseling both the staff and the girls in the afternoons. 

In the past month we've taken in one new woman into Freedom Home and have another one or two who may come in the next few weeks.  We see wonderful change happening in the lives of the women.

One thing Kyle teaches us is that we can only give out as much as we have taken in from God.  We can only help someone move toward change if we are being changed.  We can only help someone through their pain if we are being changed.

Please pray that we as staff are moved by God and changed so that we can help others to change their lives. 

We want to see the souls of the brokenhearted stop bleeding.
We want to see the captives be freed.
We want to see those who mourn, leap with joy.
We want to exchange beauty for ashes. 
We want to see a spirit of praise instead of despair.
We want them to not be trees blowing in the wind, but strong oaks of righteousness.
We want to see generations that have been ruined rebuilt and restored to be whole.

We want to display God's splendor through their lives. 

Please pray for us for these next few days.  Pray that God will move in our lives so that we can move in the lives of others.

My prayers and thoughts often turn to you, Nancy, and the beautiful work you and your husband are doing in Moldova. I look forward to the day when our LIFEPOINT girls can return and witness His fruit for ourselves...and maybe bring some men as well. I have not told you often enough how God whispers your name into my heart for prayer. I know He will give you everything you need, direct your paths, give you His wisdom, and bless your heart as you desire for more of Him...so you can pour Him out to those beautiful girls. I Love you, my friend!
