Red Light District

So today we were able to go a YWAM chapel service. It was really great being able to worship with them and share in our faith in Jesus and continue to be family with christians all over the world. There are so many different Nationalities here! There are people from everywhere!!

Then we got to babysitt our host's kids again we took them for walks around the city and feed them lunch and get sandwiches at a local deli... and tried real dutch licorice today! It was disgusting!!!

The we went Prayer walking i the Red Light District with a group from the Cleft, the YWAM ministry we are working and staying with. We got to learn about all the different areas and nationalities and sex areas of the district... there is actually a lot of cultural stuff and influences going on and lots of clashing and a lot more to the area then most people visitng would ever notice! and we got to minister to people in the area, mainly homeless people.... and pretty much just talking with them like friends and asking if they are interested in hearing anything about Jesus or coming to a church service any time... if they don't we don't make anything of it we bid them a good day... met this guy named Johaam from Portugal and I think he might start coming to a service now and again!! He was really nice and seemed to enjoy hearing about Jesus!

Then tonight we got to serve coffee at one of the services! They have the doors open for 2 hours to any homeless people or anoyne to come in help themselves to coffee, tea,sweetness and creamed or not and cookies and then participate in worship and a sermon and hang out and chill with us for however long they want. This is an opportunity for them to continue to build relationship and hopefully have fruit from loving these people as much like Jesus as we can!

Now I have to crash and sleep... it is 2pm Cali. time but 11pm here!

I love you guys a lot!!]happy blogging
