Call to Prayer

Location: Las Vegas, Nevada

Mission: Bring to the Lamb who was slain the reward of His suffering

Prayer is much appreciated :)

 

 

 

 

Going out again tonight to share the love of Jesus, can we get some prayer warriors up in here?

Please pray:

For open hearts to receive the love of Christ

For divine appointments

Against spiritual heaviness of the area

Against distractions and/or spiritual attacks against the team and people we'll be hanging with

For wisdom and discernment for the team

Thank you so much!

People Get Ready

 So basically, I just copied this from my last email update. If you were directed here by way of said update, you may want to skip this entry. Carry on.

Well friends, the final week is soon approaching. Gathering outreach clothes, praying for the last funds for plane tickets, saying our goodbyes to our local outreaches, and organizing our final details have made the surreality of the outreach become more of a reality.

Before we go on international outreach though, we are taking the school on a tour around California to speak at churches and universities about human trafficking. They'll be covering what can be done about it, what they're doing about it, and what God has been doing in their lives through the Abolitionist DTS.

If you'd like to hear about the school through the eyes of some of our students, you can check out their blogs- I've put the links at the bottom of this email.

Details about international outreach:
Leaving November 21
Mumbai for 12 days working with women and children in the red light district
Kathmandu for 36 days working with street kids, girls rescued from the sex trade, slum school, and small villages
Returning early January (I don't have the dates on me at the moment)

If you could please pray for safety, health, discernment, and wisdom for all of us during these next couple months, that would be very much appreciated.

Personal prayer points:
$1200 before this Friday to hold a plane ticket
The remaining $1500 for the trip before November 14th
Healing for back pain, skin issues, and protection against any other distractions that would keep me from focusing on God

Thank you all so very much! Have a wonderful remainder of your week.

May God be your strength and your victory, Gabrielle Nicole

Rainbeans and Coffeedrops

Later that night,,,

Sweet candles with the essence of fall

Psalm 19

Eyes Full of Rose playing softly in the background

Open window
Chilling breeze dancing with the curtains
Raindrops diving into the makeshift creek between the curb and the street
Minutes like hours
Pen and paper neglected
Peace.

          I've heard it said that if the devil cannot draw you away from God with sin, he'll try to do it with business. Just a couple weeks ago, this was exactly the tactic he was using/I was falling for. 

If you've not heard the story about the mayonnaise jar and the two cups of coffee, then go here to read it: http://message.snopes.com/showthread.php?t=11060

           What bothers me about this story, is that there is no empty space in the jar. I've found that before even putting sand in the jar, I have to set apart some space in the jar where I will put absolutely nothing. One of my golf balls has to be time alone with God and look to Him for my strength and refreshment, but I still have to leave room for nothing in there too. I don't want to get burned out and end up being completely mechanical and useless for pouring God's love into the students here and my family alike.

          Tonight I took one of my lovely one-on-ones to a coffee shop called Sambalatte, and it was absolutely lovely. Live music, comfy chairs, and even a few people I know. Being there reminded me of this story, and after thinking on it a bit, it reminded me that I hadn't updated my blog in a while! And now we've come full circle.

          On that note, I need to head off to bed so that I will be awake enough to worship Jesus to the max in the morning. Woot woot! I am excite.
