While we were in Lima(Peru) we had to drive to Jicamarca with a public bus just about everyday. It's about an hour's drive depending on the days traffic . On our way there Pastor George would tell us to sing a song. We would sing "Open the eyes of my heart, Lord" in English and Spanish. After the song he would point to one of the team members and ask that person to share a testimony. That was quite an interesting experience to stand up in a bus full of people and start sharing. This continued untill we got to...

He was tortured and starved and through it all he still sang praises to God with a joyful heart. He had nothing to hold on to except God. And that was enough. That is how he made it day after...

Always smiling. Always happy to see us. Waving with pure excitement. The people's unconditional love for us was really something to experience.   God blessed us with an amazing time in Anafora.

I didn't even think that it...

I'm not good enough  I'm not worthy I'm fat I'm ugly I'm full of flaws I'm damaged goods I'm unfixable   These are all the lies I believed. These are the lies that corrupted my thoughts. These are the lies that damaged my heart.    But  God came and spoke truth in me.  I AM good enough I AM worthy  I AM wonderfully made I AM beautiful  I AM perfect I AM everything He wants me to be   He set me free from the enemies grasp. And He told me that I am chosen. He has chosen me to...
