The teenage daughter.
Witch doctor who gave his life to the Lord.
Hello,
We wanted to share with you about our Kids Summer Program and a really cool story from it.
We asked 9 of our churches in different villages to have a Kids Summer Program. We asked that they reached out to the poorest children, the ones that do not go to church and do not go to school.
We had a 3-day training class for all of the pastors and leaders. We had over 3,000 kids in attendance.
Many kids came from broken homes, with one parent, no parent, and even some from voodoo camps.
We fed them, taught them the simple Gospel message, shared Bible stories, and taught health and hygiene.The program was 3 days a week for 3 weeks.
Along with the Kids Summer Program we also sent prayer teams out to their homes to share the gospel and pray for parents and grandparents. We saw healings, deliverances, and hundreds and hundreds of salvations. We saw kids, and whole families, even witch doctors and their families come to salvation in Jesus Christ. It was such a blessing.
One of the cool stories that came out of this time was when one of our Pastors and a couple leaders went to the home of a child attending the program and knocked on the door. A teenage girl answered and said that her father was not home, and to come back later. When they turned away, they noticed a woman waiting. When they talked with her she said that she was sick and was waiting for the witch doctor to return. They asked if they could pray for her, she said yes and when they prayed she was healed. This led to them leading her to salvation in Jesus. Then the teenage girl came out to see what was happening and also accepted Jesus as her savior. Then the girls father, the witch doctor, returned home and joined in the conversation, and surrendered his life to Jesus as well. Then they all helped the father clean out his house of all the demonic and vodoo items and he burned them in the street. Praise God!
We are so thankful for your faithful support, both financially and prayerfully. It truly is changing lives.
Blessings, Mike and Chris
