Free to Dance

       Hallelujah! The Lord is so good and faithful to answer prayers on the trip already! Saturday morning I shared with my team that over the past couple months God has freed me from chains of comparison, insecurities, lies, and fear of what others think. Though I knew God freed me, I struggled with questioning if I was really free and standing firm in freedom.

The Holy Spirit is moving in mighty way throughout Nauta.   Although our time here is short, our team has broken up into different zones all over the city, looking to the Lord to lead us to people who either do not know the Lord, or people who simply need some encouragement and love. Each day, different people come back with amazing stories. On the first day of street ministry, a couple who had...
