The Walk

People said this would be challenging and too hard, but I love being married! With someone right beside me sharing all of lifes experiences, everyday is new and exciting.  We have been overly blessed by one another. I am thankful everyday that Jesus blessed me with my life long partner. There are rough times, but anything can be overcome throughthe rewarding love of Christ. Learning to love one another as Christ has loved His people is an important, and sometimes difficult lesson.  We learn and grow everyday, trying to balance our love and commitment we share with one another and our love and commitment to those in need.

  We have had various opportunities these past few weeks to put it all in to practice and really discover how to love hard together. For a whole week we hada blast serving at a bible school in our church with kids from ages 1-18 years old. The Lord gave us a great vision of them all; how they are the next generation and we have been called here to raise them up.

  During this time we were host for a team, where we were able to reconnect and renew our love for the City. We visited all the places we know well and love dearly.  Other places we visited were known to us but not as familiar. There the Lord was able to show us beauty through the power of speaking to others. It was amazing to see all the peoples faces light up.  I think they appreciated our youthful energy and the passion we have for our work.

  It was incredible being able to show that hope. We saw faith and grace in God through the people. Recently, there has not been very many girls in Buenavista!! At first it was truly hard to acceptbecause I (Victoria) wanted to speak with them.  Nevertheless, the Lord showed me it was for good and that I should be thankful and excited for what the future holds. We have also been very challenged by God to speak with clients and pimps.  These can be difficult conversations, but nothing that is worth anything ever comes easy.

If you would like to get involved in this ministry, I (Victoria) have made a Facebook page called Loving Loud.  Please go like our page!  There you can findmore details about ways you can help out, get involved, or even join our cause!

  In our Street Friends ministry, even those who call the streets home have found hope and begun to pray!! Two such people we have met, Abel and Juan Manuelare ready to leave the streets and join a rehab center.

  Thank you to everyone who keeps up with our crazy lives and supports our cause, whether financially or in prayer. We wouldn't be able to do what we do without you. May God bless each and every one of you richly. We love you deeply. Feel welcomed to come visit us whenever you'd like, we love having people over!
