Years ago, at the beginning of the ministry in this commune, in 2016 there were over two hundred children, even now this locations have over 170 children.
In 2016 there was no one to take care of these same children and tell them how much the One who allowed them to enjoy life loves them. God put this work on our hearts and starting from that very moment and until today we strive to do this wonderful work.
I remember that after a year of ministry, we were with a team in evangelization and on one of the streets in the area we found a heart drawn on the ground with the name of the Lord Jesus written inside. We were amazed and were happy to see that our work began to bear fruit, God confirmed to us through that heart drawn on the ground that what we are doing is good and determined us to get even more involved. So we continued with even greater enthusiasm, doing all kinds of attractive games, Bible stories, Bible skits, puppet shows, summer camps, trips and many other activities.
A second confirmation that God encourages us even today that what we do is pleasing to Him is that apart from the regular meetings we have with the children, at our house the yard is almost every day full of children.
Following the meeting last Saturday, while I was taking some of the children home, the children instantly started singing what they had learned that day. I think there is no greater joy than this for any minister, to hear how children begin to sing the very song that they had just learned. The interesting thing is that no one asked them to sing, they began to sing because they liked that song. The song is called; Father Abraham had many sons. Hearing this song, sung by the children, I thought of the family, it was as if God was telling me: These children are like your sons, love them, cherish them, rejoice in them, tell them that they are loved, tell them that I love them and that I care about them.
I know you are praying for us and we thank you for your prayers but please pray especially that God will give us wisdom and understanding and continue to know how to relate to these children in such a way that they will be won for the Kingdom of God. We thank you for taking the time to read our information letters and we pray that God will bless each of you!
