Obedience is Surrender

"... and you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years..." Deuteronomy 30:20

The beauty in this life is not what we make of our own life, but what we let God make of our life. We surrender, we relinquish, we let God give us the desires of His heart. When we desire Gods heart we are transformed into his likeness, we become obedient to his love and allow him to literally be our life.

It has been exactly one month since I moved to Las Vegas, the last place I thought I could ever be a part of ministry in. One month of laughing, crying, repenting, healing and restoration. There are very few words or statements that can encompass all that has happened but, Gods grace and joy have sustained me through it all.

As most of you may or may not know, I am living on base with YWAM (Youth With A Mission) as a staff member for the DTS (Discipleship Training School) going on.  Our focus is on exposing the human trafficking crisis that is destroying peoples lives not only in distant nations but in our own backyards. During the next months we will be taking active steps to abolish human trafficking in whatever way we can here in Las Vegas. We are taking steps of complete obedience and walking into the heart of the problem, establishing ground for God to reclaim lives that he longs to love.

By mid November we will be taking everything we have learned and lived here to 2 different nations. One team will be going to Thailand and the other to India/Nepal, I will be joining the team to India. We are hoping to work with families in Nepal who sell their daughters in to prostitution as a means of financial support. The girls who are victims of this usually end up in the red light ditricts of Mumbai and Delhi.

My main objective is to establish a prayer community to partner with me and the ministry I am a part of. I will be posting testimonies, teachings, my personal prayer journey and also prayer requests.

Prayer Requests

Finances: To live on base there is a $200 rent fee and also $100 for food every month. For outreach I need $1700 by October 1 to secure my flight, all together the trip to India/Nepal will be $3000-$3200. (This is a 2 month long outreach and this amount will cover all expenses)

Please prayerfully consider supporting me financially during this time, I fully rely on God as my financial provider through His followers and those who seek His counsel.

I would also appreciate prayers of endurance and refreshment. I have been struggling to find my alone times with Jesus to sustain myself during the week.

Blessing and Peace,

Marissa
