Commissioned

On October 3rd I began me week long training with the Assemblies of God World Mission. It totaled in about 35 hours of Zoom session (yikes!)with multiple speakers, global workers, and fellow M's and MA's in training such as myself.

At the end of the week I, and all the other MA's were commissioned by the AGWM staff. It was a special moment where they but better yet some close friends prayed over me as I cross and important threshold towards serving in Spain.

I don't think it was any coincidence that AGWM's theme bible verse this year is Isaiah 61:1-2. This verse has been key to me as I have heard the call to go serve women rescued from trafficking. The first time I was praying about what I could do in the issue of trafficking the Lord spoke that verse...

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
    because the Lord has anointed me
to bring good news to the poor;
    he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
    and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;
to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor,
    and the day of vengeance of our God;
    to comfort all who mourn

Every time I read these words I am reminded of the call and energized to continue in the pursuit of it. The words "because the Lord has anointed me" are so true. I do not believe I have much outside of the Lords grace and anointing to offer but I am willing to go if He goes with me.
