Learning of Joy in Germany

"Lord, show me how you see the issue of human trafficking! Give me your heart!"   

This has been my prayer in the last week, but God responded differently than I thought he would.

As I walked in the wood that the Moravians walked through as they kept the prayer house going for one hundred years, God spoke to me of my identity lining up with missions, as well as how He wants me to approach the grief of intense abuse.

He is showing me that He does not want me to work like a frightened, driven work horse, but as a bride walking with the strong King.  My heart will feel deeply the cry of the Father for His abducted doughters and sons, but He is showing me that I am part of the plan to rescue them, part of the good news, the hope is at hand and I am to bring it with Compassion and Joy.

 While I have responsibility in the work, it is in God's hands, and is His responsabiliy. He wants to conquer human trafficking through me but He wants me to fight it as a joyful bride not as chess pawn.

 Bless The Lord for the greatness of His heart and rejoice in the strength of His hand.

Thank you truly for reading this, Katrina Stine 

First week in Germany!

After two days at Ywam Herrnhut, Abra Hartmann, Tim a Ywam staff member and I traveled to Hamburg, Germany, for a Spirit filled Anti-trafficking conference.

At the conference God spoke to me more about starting a safe house in Germany, a home where I can  take needy and trafficked girls in.  A place of Jesus' love and healing.  A place where He and I will love on them.                  God is also showing me, that I need to care about everything involving trafficking, to understanding causes, and long term strategies for the abolition of trafficking. The conference was God's amazing provision for this, I learned so much, and made great contacts, contacts that I may intern under before I start a safe house, or contacts that will be key in saving girls and getting them home.

My prayer request is that every step would be clear, and that heaven would come to earth.  Thank you, and bless you, Katrina Joy!
