Spread Hope

"Is there any hope," is a common question heard while discussing the shortage of health care, education, and economic development throughout many parts of our world. Last week I had lunch with a gifted young woman who is exploring a desire to work in the aftercare field for former women in prostitution. She wanted to be assured that her professional desires could make a difference. Stories were shared regarding the benefits of aftercare programs around the world.

There is hope because of programs like Samaritana in the Philippines, Hagar in Cambodia, and Star Light Ministries in the US.

There is also hope because of the ministry pursuits of a focused young woman from Kentucky. God continues to speak to people. I pray that my new friend left our lunch meeting with as much excitement as I did. The fact that God has spoken so specifically to her gives me great hope.

Trust your dreams and the power of your God to give them to you. Spread hope.
