It’s amazingly wonderful what the Lord has been doing in Unfading Beauty since day one- October 10th, 2013!!
God has placed in my heart a portion of His love and His heart for these people, His people!! I say a portion because I am aware that God’s love for them is so so so much greater than the love I could possibly have for them and it is His love in me that makes me take action. I mean it takes a stronger power and love than human capacity to truly love the broken and be willing to walk alongside them through suffering and not be judgmental for the life they are living or have lived. SO is DEFINITELY God’s LOVE!!
Every week, on Thursdays we have been going to intercede at the Red Light District of Ensenada what we do is called Spiritual Mapping. We ask the Holy Spirit to direct us and lead us in prayer and as where to intercede in the city, and what to intercede for -specifics-. God has been so faithful week after week in leading us and confirming that He is with us and Unfading Beauty is His and came from Him- this is so comforting to my soul-!!
(one of our nights praying at the port)
(sharing after our night out), a group stays on base interceding and another group goes out.
About 3 weeks ago as we were interceding out in the city, we were approached by one of the women who works in the Red Light District asking for a particular item. Our speaker of that week join us for that night (who leads a ministry focused on human trade) and his response to the woman was, “we do not have that but We have prayer, would you like for us to pray for you?”.. The woman whose name is Mari accepted and mentioned her need to pay her mortgage, which was the main reason she is a prostitute, then we prayed for God to provide her needs and open doors for Mari to have a different way to bring income to her home. As we were praying, I was holding her arm and the moment we finished praying she turned to me and hugged me so strongly and began to cry. It was so beautiful the rest of the girls of our group got around her making a group hug and all began to speak words of truth over Mari’s life. At the end I asked if we could meet sometime for coffee or lunch to chat and get to know each other, she gave me her phone number and address =D All the glory to God!
Last week we met with Mari, it was such a blessing time. we were at Starbucks for 2 hours and half and she did 95% of the talking, which it was so awesome because we could see how much grace and favor God gave us that she opened her heart to us, and shared a praise report; her mortgage is paid and next year she is looking into leaving the streets and have a small business of selling second hand clothes “Segundas” to support herself and elder mother.. Isn’t GOD AWESOME!!!. We will continue to meet with her.
making cute notes <3
On Friday, Unfading Beauty’s team went to the red light district to give cupcakes and cute notes, simply to show some affection. It went so so so good, Mari was there and as soon as she saw me she loudly said “my friend” and gave me a hug with a huge smile! As we gave her a cupcake she asked if I wanted to meet the other girls, I smiled and said OF COURSE! –It was such a blessing to meet the rest of the girls and give them a cute cupcake; they all happily received them and we we're introduced to them 😊.
Oh God is so so so AMAZING, He is surprising me week after week with more of His goodness and just the blessing that is in walking in obedience and in faith. He is opening doors to pour of His love into these women’s hearts and I feel very privileged to be part of what God is doing! Know I was able to do these things through God’s provision, everything we do with Unfading Beauty it comes out of my pocket, trusting that God will provide for all my needs. Thankfully during the first week the ministry was launched God blessed me through a team from Minnesota who gave me a large donation and with that I have been able to take Mari for Coffee and buy what we needed for the cupcakes. Also soon will be making T-Shirt with U.B’s logo to sell and fund-raise money. God is FAITHFUL!
