Vegas Life...

I work for Youth With A Mission located in the crazy city of Las Vegas. YWAM is an organization that trains and sends off missionaries to all parts of the world in countelss different ways. I am apart of the Mission Adventures staff here. Mission Adventures is a program that is designed to moblize the youth and introduce them to how God wants to move through them.

I am now the director of MA.

YWAM Las Vegas' main building now is called the Pier which is located in the poorest neighborhoods in Las Vegas; it is also where me and five other YWAM staff live. We are in this community to provide for the physical needs for the residents who live here as well as the spiritual needs.

who's problem is it?




I had a very frustrating discussion with a homeless man from Cambodia this morning in the alley way behind the YWAM building. He was asking about what we do so I was telling him about our different programs for the neighborhood and the different missions trips that we do and that Iw as going to Thailand soon. Then we went on to say ooh "I love Bankok, they have 100 girls lined up and I pick one and do 'boom boom' with her. He said is so causally and I say...but that is wrong and he didn't think so. He said it was ok because he paid for her. I went on to say that she was most likely not doing it because she wanted to but because she was forced and he said that it was their problem not his. then I went on to say that it is all of our problem, Jesus loves that girl soo soo much and died for her so she could have freedom, not so that she could be made to have sex with whatever man comes along and pays for her. I kept as calm as I could and ended it and walked away very frustrated and angry that someone could see that as ok. I then had to my friend pray for my anger and just give it to God. This was a good start,however, to start learning how to love these men that don't even think what they're doing is wrong. "Well I paid for her so it's Ok." Well Someone has already paid for her and His name is Jesus!...
