Have Fun?
While I write this, most of my friends in America are asleep. In a little more than an hour (at about 4:00am Wednesday in Colorado) I’ll be leaving on my rented MotorBike for the town where the brothels are that the rescue team will be bringing me to. Someone said to me today to “have fun tonight.”
Sometimes I wonder if people really know the motivation of my heart. Sometimes I wonder if people know what is happening inside of me with just the thought of what I’m about to do. Have fun? In a nightmare? I don’t think so. As a matter of fact, I’ve thought really hard about saying “never mind.” I’ve come very close to just saying I cannot do this. Have fun? This will be without question one of the most difficult things I have ever done in my life.
I will have fun… only when I see a child rescued from the brothels… brought to one of our Safe Havens… and come to an understanding of who God really is and how she can enter into a personal relatioship with Him. When I see that child safe and resting in His arms instead of the arms of the most vile human beings in our world today – then I’ll have fun. Then, I’ll know there was a wonderful purpose to all of this.
Have fun? Not tonight my friends. Tonight I’ll do whatever I can to put on a brave face and to not weep while trying to build a relationship of trust with a child who needs to know what true love is… Agape love. God’s love. Real love.
Please… when you read this – take a moment and pray for me and our team.

Have you ever thought about publishing an e-book or guest authoring on other sites? I have a blog centered on the same subjects you discuss and would love to have you share some stories/information. I know my visitors would appreciate your work. If you’re even remotely interested, feel free to shoot me an email.
Greetings from Los angeles! I’m bored to tears at work so I decided to check out your blog on my iphone during lunch break. I really like the info you provide here and can’t wait to take a look when I get home. I’m surprised at how quick your blog loaded on my mobile .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyways, great site!
I am so grateful for your post. Much thanks again. Much obliged.
Hi, sorry for enquiring this request here, but I couldn’t find a contact form or something so I felt like I leave my request here. I run a blogengine blog but I am receiving bigger amounts of spam. I see u use wordpress, is it effortless to control spam with wordpress or doesn’t it make any difference? I hope you will respond to my comment or maybe send me an email with your answer if you don’t want to approve the comment. Best regards, Annie
Glad i came across this site. Added joy.org to my bookmark!
I love what you guys tend to be up too. Such clever work and exposure! Keep up the superb works guys I’ve incorporated you guys to blogroll.
A lot of of what you assert happens to be astonishingly appropriate and it makes me ponder why I had not looked at this in this light before. This particular piece truly did turn the light on for me as far as this specific subject goes. Nevertheless at this time there is actually one particular position I am not really too comfy with so whilst I make an effort to reconcile that with the main theme of your point, permit me observe just what all the rest of the readers have to point out. Nicely done.
Superb website you have here but I was curious about if you knew of any discussion boards that cover the same topics discussed here? I’d really like to be a part of online community where I can get feed-back from other experienced individuals that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Thank you!
