Does She Know?




One of my most favorite pictures of the whole trip:



She was walking down this dirt road, 
alone
barefoot,
pregnant.

Where is she going?
What is her name?
Does she have other children?
What has her life been like?
Is she hurting?
Does she have a home?
Does she have enough food and water?




I wonder all these things as I look intently at her face.
Her eyes tell a story.
Do you see it?
I would do anything to sit and listen to her share her life.

My heart breaks for this woman. 
I don't know why.

I believe she is hurting.

Does she know Jesus?
Has anyone ever told her of His unfailing love?
That He sent His Son to
DIE FOR HER?

Does she know this?

Does she know she can live forever in eternity with Him
if she would just believe?

"For God so loved the world
that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him
shall not perish but have eternal life."
John 3:16 

Has anyone ever told her about Jesus?

I feel it is my job.
I need to go back.
I need to tell her about my Jesus.

If I don't, who will?



“The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.
Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest
to send out laborers into his harvest."
Luke 10:2
