Brian and Isa

Today I got to see my little friend again. His name is Brian and he is a street kid. Several weeks ago some missionaries and I were out eating lunch at a friend’s café. That is when we first met Brian and invited him to have lunch with us. It touched my heart as we got to know him and hear his story. Brian’s dad is a thief in another town and his mom is a drug user and a drunk. Today we saw him again as we were leaving from picking up some food to eat. We couldn’t stay, but we took him inside to a table and bought him lunch.

I want to tell you about another young man at school in standard 7. His name is Isa. He always has a smile and is very willing to help. The last few Sundays in Awana he has come to me to say his verses. There are always questions in the Awana books they want you to ask before signing off that the child said the verse. This last Sunday one of the questions was, “Have you ever trusted Christ as your Savior?” I almost did not ask because I didn’t want him to feel pressured and tell me what he thought I might want to hear. Children will often do that. Instead I felt that the Lord wanted me to ask and so I did. He put his head down and said to me, “No, I have not.” We talked for awhile and I encouraged him to really think about the verses he was learning.

Please pray with me that I might see Brian and Isa come to know Christ as their personal Lord and Savior!
