Today was Reach the Nations Day 7...I think. :) 3 young men asked Jesus to be their Saviour today. How awesome!!! I am so excited about this. Especially because tomorrow there will be a group invitation given to everyone and the gospel even more clearly stated to these kids.
I am praying for one Muslim boy in particular. While I doubt he would come forward in front of his brother and his friend, I am hoping that the Holy Spirit is tugging at his heart. I have been in a different group of kids this week so I haven't been able to see his reaction during devotion time but I am praying and hoping there is change taking place!
On a more heart-breaking note, I was ministering to a 6-year-old girl today who told me, "Everybody knows I'm gonna go to hell anyways." I think my heart broke right there when I heard those words. I wrapped my arms around her and told her that Jesus loves her so much and wants her to live forever in heaven with him and all she has to do is ask Him into her heart. She was talking about bad choices and I told her that Jesus will forgive her for her bad choices. She said, "But he knows I'll just do 'em again." Smile. "Yes, honey, He does know that. And you know what? He forgives you anyway again and again. He loves you that much."
Where does a 6 year old get the idea that she's going to hell??? Only because someone's told her that. It just infuriates me when I think about that. Who would tell a child that? Who would leave a child with THAT kind of fear and not tell them how they can escape going to hell?!
She didn't want to come back tomorrow but said she would if I would stay with her. :) So I agreed. How sweet!! I hope in the day I have left that the Lord will give me the words to speak to make a difference in her heart.
Thank you, Lord for this opportunity to participate in Reach the Nations. Thank you for not letting me pass this up!!
