Freedom Reigns

Last night, we went out to pray for one of the places where sex trafficking is big. We didn't really see a whole lot but one of the places we could see was a building with a glass front and a man sitting outside. They said the women are shown through the window and the men negotiate price with the man outside. The women aren't aloud to go out. They are always always monitored. They are tricked into coming to this place and selling their bodies, told that a great job is awaiting them. They are trapped. To talk with them we have to buy their time. That's hard for me. I want to spend time with them, but time with them has no price tag to me, it's priceless and I want them to know that. I want them to see that I believe they are worth so much more, because the God who relentlessly desires them told me they are. 
As we were driving around we began to worship. A lot of the houses are recognizable by the x that follows their house number. The image of 10X in big black letters is burned in my mind. During worship the Lord gave me a song of freedom to sing over these women. He longs to break open their imprisoned hearts. He longs for his beautiful daughters to have the freedom to be joyful. He longs for them to have the freedom to dream and hope again.  He longs for them to be free from the torture they are trapped in. 
The next two months in Bali are going to be filled with moments like this. We will be out working in red light districts 5 nights of the week. Please pray for us and the women we will minister to for the next two months! I'm excited for the freedom God has planned for these people!
