Red Light

This place is incredible. Today was really heavy. We went through the Red Light today, and prayed and prayed and prayed. God is not invisible when we come alive. I love watching His work. We learned a lot today in many different ways. We got to experience the darkness of this place. I've never been in a darker place in my life. The presence of satan was powerful; however, the power of Christ overwhelms it. The corruption in the eyes of the men in the Red Light was so evident. It was like they were burning with lust and rage. The women are so broken. Its so visible in their eyes that their hearts are just burdened. They wear thick masks and try to disconnect from their emotions. At first I was angry. I was thinking, "How could these men put these women through this, and when did girls become toys instead of human beings?" Jesus reminded me that They are hurting. Hurting people hurt people. Tomorrow we are going back, but not for us. Not to see what we can get out of it, but rather to be a light in the darkness. It will be difficult, to say the least. But, who am I to tell the Creator of these people and this city no? Please continue to pray for this place and us as we walk these streets in prayer. We've all been praying Psalm 91. Thank you all for praying for me and rest of my team. We are loving being in the presence of God in such a real place. update tomorrow!!
