Putting you faith into action

Hey guys, sorry I haven't blogged in awhile. I had sort of a mental block all throughout Nicaragua. I am in the Philippines and loving it!!! I have currently been here for almost 4 weeks now and I don't ever want to leave. I am working with children's garden of the Philippines which is apace of housing for about 20 boys who used to be street kids. Here they provide a place to stay, food, and education for these boys. These boys are the funniest and brightest young men I've ever met that have a hunger for Christ. During the day you can hear the boys worshipping his name, many have an amazing talent with singing and playing the guitar. The boys here also go out with us into outreach and teach other street kids about Christ and his amazing love. It's so amazing to see boys who have been through so much preach Christ's love. Its amazing to see how God moves in other countries. At Children's Garden we do devotionals with the boys about 3 times a week and one or two will share their testimony. We have dance parties all the time as well as worship. They love playing monopoly deal and UNO as well as playing games on our iPads. Throughout the week we do a lot of outreach with the community. We do bible studies at the women's prison, bible studies with a few prostitutes, bible studies with children in conflict with the law, outreach behind the Shop wise at night, outreach outside of Jollibee downtown, and we will go and visit some of the boys families. Sometimes it's overwhelming how much poverty is here and how much brokenness is here but it's so amazing to see how God can work through that. Sharon, who is our contact, is the most amazing women I've ver met. She has such a love for these boys and the people in the community. I am finally writing this blog because I want to share my love about Childrens Garden and how much they are doing for these boys and many people in the Philippines. And also to share what God has been putting on my heart to do when I get back home. I've been scared about what I'm going to do with my life when this is all over so I've been praying a lot into it and this is what I keep getting. I know when I get home I'm meant to go to college and get an education. The dream that God keeps giving me is to become a fashion designer and making it into a ministry. Many people back home do not understand what is going on in this world. God has really given me a heart for the prostitutes and women in sex trafficking and I want it to be a ministry for these women. Hearing what they have been through, what they are going through, and what happens to them breaks my heart. A lot of the women here see no way out, but I know in my heart there is a way out. Being here in Manila makes me want to change something in this world. It's not fair that young women are getting sucked into prostitution, I feel as if I'm living in a dream. I know that with God this can all change. If people really understood what was going on, we could change this, and that's what I want to do. Now it may not happen in a week or a year or even ten years, but one day it will. This is what I want to do with my life when I get back home. I want to make this known through fashion. I want to start my own fashion line and every single month 35-50% of the proceeds go to a ministry that deals with women in sex trafficking all over the world. This isn't only going on in Asia, it's going on everywhere. Every 3months I would have a new ministry and there would be pamphlets and information about that specific place and the specific women it's affecting. I want the people who buy my clothes to know what the money is going to and why. People need to be truly informed on what is going on, and know how they can help. Every 3 months I will change countries. So first Asia for three months, than Europe, than the United States, and Africa. Of course there are others, but that's just an example. At the end of the three months I will go and visit the ministries and present them the money my ministry has raised and work with the women there for a week. Every person who helped by buying my clothes I would send them information about what all their money went to. My dream would be to build refugee houses for the women in all these different countries and teach them skills so that they will ever have to go back to prostitution. I want to show these women how loved they are, even though they are prostitutes, God still loves them so much. I think fashion is a great way to inform people about what  is going in in this world. This is what God called me to do, gave me a talent for, so I am going to do it.
