When staying is a new beginning

SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED.

I am STAYING in Kolkata for a few more months. I feel God calling me to continue missions here!! I'm so stoked. I know God has not finished loving on the people of Kolkata through me yet. As I love the broken people here, God continues to show me His love in new ways as well. Things have been busy trying to get everything figured out, but I'm so excited for what God has in store in my semester here!

I would really appreciate your support, prayerfully and financially if you feel God calling you to. Your prayers and encouragement means so much to me. Thank you! 

I don't know the details of how everything will work out but I know God will provide just as he always has. (: 

Continue praying for the ministry here with the ladies in the brothels and the kids in the slums. They need to see God's light in their darkness to know there is hope.

Thank you so much!

Five of our ladies graduated last week and it was such a reminder of God's power and how His unconditional love sets us free and redeems us all. I couldn't help but cry when I heard them share their testimonies, along with what ministry they are getting involved with to help others who are still going through what they went through. The way they shine Christ's light has taught me SO much! Please pray as we have replacements coming in the near future. They are coming straight from the brothels and will have to be taught about the Gospel, how to deal with anger, manners, and holding pencils and reading. For them, coming here is their first time in formal education. We will be starting at the very bottom and working to the top, just continually lifting them up and loving on them with God's love.
