Today the boys side of our team left for the Sunderban Islands for a great adventure sharing Jesus with the islanders. We girls are staying in Kolkata to continue sharing with ladies in aftercare.
Today at Mahima we shared the story of the pearl of great price. We asked the girls to tell us what the story meant to them. They understood about the kingdom of Heaven being worth everything they had. It wasn’t long before one girl realized that Jesus also paid it all for her, that SHE was of great value.
Our young ladies painted a beautiful picture of fellowship. They dove into fun, sweet, and deep conversation effortlessly. Many of them just months before had been living a life of abuse at the hands of a trafficker. I watched as the girls danced, hugged and laughed with one another, all the while learning their names and making them know how treasured they are.
We know our purpose here is to minister and to serve but as usual, we have gained much more from them than they have from us. Our new friends have such an abundant amount of joy that is truly inspirational and has impacted our team in a large way. We are so honored to have gotten the opportunity to be with these ladies. Our Kingsland girls have continued to show selfless love and incredible servitude. They are serious about making an impact not only in Kolkata but in Katy, Texas as well.
