Dear Praying Friends,
We were in the middle of our Vacation Bible School
when the mailman showed up at the door of our church. “I have a delivery” he announced while a shy
7 year old girl peeked out from behind his leg.
Visions of abandoned children being left on church doorsteps raced
through my mind but then he announced, “Her father asked me to drop her off;
she has been wanting to come all week but was too shy to come earlier.” I breathed a sigh of relief and we welcomed
her in.
Our Vacation Bible School ended last week and it was
amazing what God did! We had a total of
19 children attend during the week, many of them first time visitors! We have many new contacts with families and
children and are very excited by this level of interest from so many families
here in Lagos.
We want to thank each one of you who prayed for this
ministry and let you know that God is working as a result of your faithful
labors in prayer. Two children, G. and N., expressed interest in being saved, but neither wanted to take the
final step and pray. Please continue to
pray for these two children and all the others who heard the gospel last
week. 15 out of the 19 children
confessed that they did not have Jesus as their Savior. Our hearts are burdened that these precious
children and their families would soon come to know Christ as their Savior and
Lord.
Bringing children to Jesus,
Mark Hale
