A couple of years ago when I first came to Spirit Lake, I wrote about a little boy who brought a Bible to school and spent most of his recess reading it (click here to read the whole story). That same little boy has been going to Awana almost every Wednesday for the past year or so (thanks to my good friend, Paula…click here to read THAT story). And now, this same little boy comes to school and is often excited to tell about a lesson or recite a verse that he’s learned at Awana. Last Monday, his first words to me were, “I wish we could skip tomorrow so it would be Wednesday so I can go to Awana.” It’s pretty amazing to think about what’s taking root in this little guy’s heart! Please keep him and the rest of the kids in your prayers. Pray, too, for Jay and Paula as they continue to make it possible for these kids to get to Awana each week!
One of the lessons that this little guy was so excited to tell me about was laminin. Check out this video and you’ll see what he was so thrilled about…
Wow – thank you, thank you for sharing this, Naomi! I’m sitting here in tears, just amazed by this video. With so many cells whacked out in my body right now, it means incredibly much to not only hear, but see, how God is holding all things together in all of us. I can see why the kids were so excited! Joe and I were praying for you and the young people of Spirit Lake just this morning.
