"There is power in the name of Jesus
To break every chain
To break every chain
To break every chain"
Tonight at our GO staff retreat we had a powerful time of worship (no surprise!). The words to this song really hit me and stood out to me.
Sometimes in ministry in the DR some "chains" or "cycles" can seem hopeless.
-poverty
-teenage pregnancies
-corruption
-abuse
Just in my short week back in country I've spent time with a family where the mom is 24 and has 8 children, heard about a 13 year old who recently had triplets with a 60 year old, and seen the sad side of sex tourism in the resort areas of the DR. Sometimes it is overwhelming how hopeless it all seems...
And then with a single chorus God brings hope and a promise. We're all part of his redemption story for mankind and even though it all can be a little overwhelming at times, the name of Jesus can break every chain!
