Since my last post in Switzerland, a lot has happened and I have yet to unpack it fully. These months in America have been laced with some good moments as well as times of forced resting and letting go of what I was wanting to make happen in my own efforts. I was severely tempted to re-enter the workforce and seek my own satisfaction in Colorado, to be surrounded by things I enjoy doing and just make something happen rather than wait for what God has next. This desire led to my "dream job" in Boulder which I didn't feel peace on and I chose to wait for what was next.
Through a series of dreams last year, reconnecting with good friends, prayer, and counseling I found that next step: Brazil.
I'll be joining Exodus Cry in the Liberdade movement (http://exoduscry.com/liberdade/) in Fortaleza, a northeast coastal city in Brazil. We'll be partnering with locals and other missionaries to set-up a house of prayer in each of the twelve cities hosting the World Cup as well as seeking after an end to sex trafficking in the country as we love on those in the cities.
My heart is full to see this slavery movement ended and I could not be more prepared and excited to be partnering with this mission.
Whenever a large worldwide sporting event takes place, the demand for sex tourism increases and the injustices that are permitted to occur will no longer take place without those standing up for freedom in this day and in this hour.
“You may choose to look the other way but you can never say again that you did not know.” - William Wilberforce, a key figure in the emancipation of slaves in the 1800's across the world
If you have a desire to find out how you can become involved in putting an end to sex slavery in your area please don't hesitate to reach out and I can put you in contact with others.
Expect to see updates during the course of the World Cup here.
Additionally, there are a number of future ventures that have been put on my shoulders that will be coming to fruition as time progresses. If you would like to receive additional updates in the form of a newsletter please send me your email address to imsmith456@gmail.com.
And of course the part I know you're all curious about, what about my amazing beard? Well... I have set it free to be all it was created to be apart from me.
Our external circumstances follow what we've created inside of ourselves. Make sure to take the time to know you and be the change you want to see.
Namaste
