Called Out

I have been praying for opportunities for God to use me and an AMAZING opportunity has come about.

It has been an exciting season as God opens doors for me to minister to and love people. After the youth conference this summer, where we saw God work in wondrous ways, we believed that God had more. We knew that greater things were still yet to come. Ever since then I have been in prayer for what God has. Today we received a call from a close friend who shared an opportunity that is an answer to prayer for me.

I have been invited to go on a trip to Moldova, the hub of human trafficking in Eastern Europe, in January of 2012 with Your Kingdom Come Ministries and a small team to lead conferences, share messages about human trafficking, bless the people in the villages and love the children in the orphanages. We will be able to share with girls my age the value of beauty and who they are in Christ. Throughout the trip we will be meeting in small groups with these women and girls which we will bring together into two main conferences. One conference will be held in the North of Moldova. The other conference is a break through conference because they are just now allowing us into the South to minister and share with the people there.

My heart is for people. I desire to see them touched and transformed by the love of God. I want to see people’s lives changed and I want to be a part of that. God has shown me how to love the people that are right in front of me. He has shown me that what may seem little to me can make a big difference. I am so blessed to have this opportunity now to go out into the world and share His love with those who are broken, hurting, and lost.

The financial side of it looks big to me but it is nothing for my God. We received the call today (Friday) and I have three days to turn in $1200 (by Monday, October 24). The last $650 will be due at the beginning of December. I accepted this opportunity in faith because I know my God will provide. I am reminded of the verse in Romans 8 that says, “If our God is for us, who can be against us?” He is in this trip and He is the reason that I will be able to go and love on the people there.

Please be in prayer for me, the rest of the team, and the ministry. Pray for God’s protection on the trip and open hearts in all of the people there.

This really is an answer to prayer. My excitement for this opportunity and sense of God’s goodness continue to overwhelm me. God has indescribable plans and I am excited to witness it.
