Women of CA

Blogger: Joye

This is such an amazing country. The people here are very sweet and some are open. With the English Club I have gotten to chance to know many great people. There are four girls that we had lunch with the other day. They are all very open and want to share their culture and life with us and also learn the same about us. Lift these four girls up and ask for their eyes to be open to His light. Also, there is another girl who has asked me to spend time with her. Ask Dad for boldness and for Him to speak through me. Lift up all of the relationships that have started and will start. Ask for hearts to be open and eyes to see.

The other night G was discussing marriage with us. She explained to us that 80% of women in this country are abused by their husbands. This statistic hit me very hard. There are so many women who feel there is nothing they can do. One of her friends wants to go to another country, because there are just no good men here. Lift up these women. Ask for guidance for them and that Our Father will place great bothers in these men's lives to be a light for them. Also, yesterday I did a club about wedding ceremonies. I discussed American cermonies and the traditions. During this club women told me that guys steal a woman and marry her at times. This doesn't happen as much anymore, but it still happens in the South. When they were discussing this they did not show any reppulsion about this idea. Lift up the women of this nation, that they will have hope. Our Father is mighty and He is able to do great things.

There is so much hopelessness; as I look around each day it burdens my heart for the people of this city and country. Lay them at the Father's feet. Ask for His great light to shine through the hopelessness. Lift up these people and their hearts. I love them and look forward to seeing what mighty things He will do.
