Children's Ministry

We just experienced another children's ministry night. It was such a blessing! Our friend Ang, came again this friday night and played with children, then taught them a couple of Christian songs. This time the boys were less interested, but the girls were very involved, and seemed to enjoy it very much. Just before it was time to go home, she had them all stand in a circle and join hands. Then said a prayer. She had them shut their eyes. She taught them that they need to talk to God just like a normal conversation, and to ask that God would listen in Jesus' Name. She taught them that they need to believe what they are saying or asking to God. she taught them to say "amen" when they were finished. I don't think any of them have ever prayed before. I am so exited about this opportunity. I also feel burdened about it. They are hearing these Truths for the first time in their life. We are praying that God would provide someone ( a thai christian) to come and help us in this ministry. We are also praying that God would not only continue working in these children's lives, that they might be saved, but also in their parent's lives as well.
One little boy named June (age 10) opposed the work almost all evening. He kept calling the other boys especially his younger friend to not join in the singing, and especially the prayer. We are praying for him. He comes from a very hurtful home. Would you like to join us in praying for these dear children?
