things to come.

I will be on my way to training camp in roughly 4 weeks. Then a few days later, I'll be heading to India. I'm really excited for it, but I'm also really nervous. It hasn't really hit me yet that I'll be: A- out of the country for 2 months and B- spending time with women who were in the sex trafficking industry in India. I've gone on mission trips before, but none quite like this.

Just a little recap...

I will be in Bangalore, India, for 2 months (June 4-July 31) with Adventures in Missions. I will be going with a team of college age women, and we will be partnering with Rahab's Rope. The mission of Rahab's Rope is to give hope and opportunity to women and girls that have been forced into the commercial sex trade of India by providing a safe and loving environment that will enable them to grow and develop both physically and spiritually. My team and I will be teaching the women and building relationships with them.

I am afriad that I won't have the right words to say to the women--I mean, what can you really say to someone who has faced such a huge injustice? But people constantly remind me that God will provide me with the right words to say. Plus, I'm sure sometimes listening will be all I can do. And I know that whatever happens, with any conversations I have, God is in control. It doesn't always make sense, but it is true. In the midst of an uncertain world, God is still certain.

And remember...God uses us wherever we are. He doesn't need us, but he chooses us. You don't have to be in India, Sierra Leone, or Costa Rica to be used by God. Do your part where you are. Do what you can do, and let God do the rest.

Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you."

John 20:21
