I have entered into a life where taking a shower is a treat. Where my tent is absolutely infested by fleas. Where bread and butter is the new normal. Where my feet haven’t been clean in 3 weeks.

There are pockets of light in the crevices of this city.   Our ministry days include going from house to house and praying over the hurting people. Our team has seen healing. We have seen grace; Jesus is moving. Three days ago, we came...
