A bit about me and my everyday life

wendy g Goes to India…….

In February I’ll be going with a team of others from my church, Times Square Church to minister to the women, men, and children that live in the Red Light district of Pune, India. I first heard about how young girls (and some boys) are brought there a few years ago and my heart has been stirred ever since. Many of them are kidnapped from Nepal or swindled from their parents who are told their child will receive an education and a better job. Once there, they become sex-worker slaves. In some brothels, these poor souls are literally chained to a bed…….. Eventually children are born and as soon as they’re old enough, they’re forced into the same depraved industry. Altogether outrageous! And to make matters even worse, once a sex-worker slave with HIV/AIDS starts to show signs of this illness, they are literally kicked out onto the street. So they spend their last days dying, while begging, on the streets. Miraculously, over the last couple of years, attendees from my church have been able to work with another ministry that is based in Pune that ministers solely to these sex-worker slaves. Doors have opened and via a medical clinic and a beauty salon, volunteers have been able to show love and touch the hearts of these people. What’s so amazing is that the love of Christ powerfully pierces through the horror and tragedy and despair that is so thick in Pune’s Red Light district.

I feel honored that I have the opportunity to go and reach out to those who are trapped in this tangled web of darkness. Knowing that I go in the name of Christ and filled with His love for these people is the only reason I have hope. I would otherwise be overwhelmed and just stay here in NYC…….

I’m asking for support via prayer:
1-For the vicious chain of the sex-worker industry to be broken
2-For the enslaved men, women, and children to be able to leave this industry
3-For a hospice for the sex-workers who contract HIV/AIDS
4-That the love of Christ would effectually be poured out on these poor souls; so they’d know that they’re not alone; and that they would receive Christ as their own. (There is such a thing as freedom on the inside and forever! Hallelujah!)

I’m also asking for support via finances. The trip costs $2800 and any donations would be appreciated! Checks can be sent directly to my church’s missions office on my behalf — “India-wendy g” in the memo. Times Square Church will mail a receipt to you for tax purposes. The address is:
Times Square Church Missions

God Bless you! And thank you for reading all of this! I had so much to say and this is as briefly as I could say it!

iPod Alert!!

This is what I’ve been listening to for two weeks and it’s just amazing! Cry Beautiful by Kate Conlon. 100% of the proceeds go to feed hungry children through out the world via ChildCry. Aren’t you tired of seeing hungry children on TV? Well I sure am! That’s why I bought this CD — to help feed children! How straightforward is that?!
Now RUN, don’t walk to order this CD.

For the Lord your God is the God of gods and Lord of lords. He is the great God, the mighty and awesome God, who shows no partiality and cannot be bribed. He ensures that orphans and widows receive justice. He shows love to the foreigners living among you and gives them food and clothing.
Deuteronomy 10:17-18 (NLT)

Prayer In The Square

These days the world can change in one hour. I believe that one hour of prayer can change the world. Do you believe that?

This Sunday, September 7th 2008, thousands of people will join their voices in prayer for New York City and beyond. Come join us for prayer in Times Square from 3-4 at 44th and Broadway.

For more information, go here.

I’m so excited about what God will do! :-)

Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. My eyes will be open and my ears attentive to every prayer made in this place.
2 Chronicles 7:14-15

Save The Date

Vacation

I’ll be on vacation from Friday 6/27 until Tuesday 7/8 for some much needed rest. I’ll only take care of a few prior commitments and do some blogging. So….. wendy g photography will be closed from June 27th through July 8th.

All print orders and new album orders will not go into production until I return from vacation. If your album is already in production, things will resume after July 8th.

If you’re inquiring about your wedding, please submit your information via my website’s “availability” page and you’ll receive a response.

I thank you for your patience and will be in touch when I get back!

Happy Anniversary Israel!

Wow!! Israel celebrates 60 years strong today. I wasn’t around back in 1948 but what an incredible history! There’s never before been a people who returned to their homeland after generations of persecution and opposition and …. atrocities. Amazing.

Not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit, saith The Lord of hosts.

Girl Fun!

One night I went to my friend Melissa’s to have a girls’ night/slumber party with her and her two daughters. We had so much fun! We ate and ate and then ate too much popcorn; we watched episodes of “What’s Happenin’?” (remember Rog and Rerun?); we did our nails; and basically took over the place. I had bragged that I could hang until at least 2 or 3 am……. Well, when Melissa’s husband Barry came to see about us I was already dozing off. I thought, “Well, at least I stayed up until about 1 o’clock.” But no, I found out that it was only 10:40!! What?! So much for bragging rights! But it was still crazy fun! ;-)
