It’s amazing when you see the faith of a younger generation professing their faith and shining the light of Jesus to others! I was honored to witness this first hand with a group of girls (ages 12-17.) I sat outside as they passed me and said, “we’re going to go evangelize, want to come?” I jumped at the opportunity and followed as we walked 30 minutes to a small village through the forest. The girls decided that they would surprise a family there by making dinner for them so as soon as they reached the village they worked together to cook a meal for the family. Then they walked around the village to talk with people and invite them to join us in bible study. Everyone piled on benches in the middle of the village. I had to hide because there was a baby who would cry every time he saw my face (think about how scared you would be seeing a person who was a different color then you had ever seen.) Then the girls led worship, and gave a sermon, had a memory verse, and in the end prayed over all of the people. Praise God for these women of faith and their devotion to the Lord. They do this every Wednesday. They go into villages, make relationships, and share the gospel BOLDLY! …we went “flow flow” (fast) home because it was getting dark…and I arrived home like a child who knew she had done something that probably disappointed her parents. Uncle Magnus (who was in charge of our team) was waiting for me. Lets just say I was on strict orders for the rest of the trip to tell him if I went anywhere! J
