The next week changed my life forever.. The base director was the speaker of the week and she was talking about animism..
She had some challenges for us like:
-If you go to Asia and you find some musilm group, how would you share with them about Jesus without ofending their culture and religion?!
And some other stuff like that..
During that week, she took us to down town Monterrey, to take a walk around the streets down there.. I am talking as: Monterrey is my hometown! and you know what?! I would not ever believe what I saw if someone else told me.
While we were walking, saw tones of different stuff, like people selling pirate dvds and cds.. this drunk guy sleeping on the side-walk.. people asking for money.. but theres is one thing that got most of my attention: the prostitute girls..
I looked up the meaning of prostitution, and this is what I found:
Prostitution is widely described as the world's oldest profession; the practice of selling sex for cash or other immediate compensation has existed across cultures and times from the ancient Greeks, through religious servitude, to today's madam scandals that have rocked the British Parliament, America's Hollywood, and America's east coast Blue Bloods. Prostitution also crosses class lines, from the poor ‘streetwalkers’ with their stereotyped drug habits and abusive pimps to the high-class brothel and escort service workers with their designer clothes and stylish apartments.
Prostitution is something that has been existed.. but God hates it!
God made sex for marriage and for procreation.. Sadly, these days.. people look at it as something without the value that it should have.. people use it to earn money or sexual pleasure...
It broke my heart.. it was 2:00pm, kids were walking all over the place because they had just gotten out of school.. they were trying to buy some of the pirate movies or games. This prostitute girls where working at that time in the afternoon, its sad how they dont care if there are kids around or if someone is watching them.
I dissembling looked at them how they where dressing up and wearing tons of make up trying to look attractive, my heart felt anger seeing what they were doing with the precious gift of God, but at the same time.. compassion was taking place in my heart, I wanted to hug them.. tell them theres freedom. That even though they are doing wrong, God can forgive, clean and make them new!
Thats why I get happy knowing that they have hope.. But how are they going to know it, if we dont tell them.. how are they going to hear the truth, if we dont share it with them..
There are some many places all over the world, where prostitution is something legal and normal.. it is a normal job for a lot of girls.. I personally pray mercy over them, and I am looking forward for an opportunity to go and tell them they have hope! That there is someone who loves them such as they are, without make up and glamorous clothes.. someone who made them beautiful!
That walk impacted me.. I learned so much that day, and I am still impressed about how the world needs God and how we, the people that know the truth need to shout it loud so they can hear...
