Bringing Jesus into the Chaos

During our commissioning at our STINT Briefing in August where we were preparing for our year in Mexico City, God broke my heart more for the people here. There has been a lot of chaos and mayhem down here because of the recent presidential elections, which were very close in votes. The loser has been rallying people to protest and different parts of the city have shut down. So I was starting to worry about all the chaos we were going to be walking into—wd. the girls be safe, is it wise for us to be there, and other concerns. I was worried about walking into the chaos of it all—and I heard Jesus say to me—“I want you to bring Me into that chaos.” God was showing me this was a great opportunity for His glory to shine in the midst of great chaos. This is an opportunity to bring hope and light, love and forgiveness, to people who so desperately need it. I sensed God inviting me to trust him with my life & the lives of my team, and walk into a dark situation, bringing them the light and hope found only in Jesus Christ!

A couple nights ago I shared this with the team and Skye told me that Jesus had shared the same thing with her on the metro on their way over to meet us. She was thinking about the chaos of things and heard God say to her…”Invite me into this chaos.” I told her it’s so neat how God is speaking similar things to his people—she stopped me and said—“The exact same things.” She was right. God is speaking the exact same things into his people and is inviting us to trust him and believe him to bring HIM into the chaos. We are inviting him to bring about a spiritual revival among the people of Mexico. Would you please join us in asking God to bring it about. Trae lo Jesus! Trae lo!
