Bible Zone: Enter with wonder!

Our dedication is to Jehovah our Salvation, Jesus the Christ our Lord and our God. This same dedication is by HIS work in us as we move at HIS direction in Zambia, Africa. Holiness by HIS Grace, the gift of eternal life in Jesus, is our desire for the Tribal People of Africa; that they may turn to HIM receiving forgiveness, remission of sin, just as we have received according to the Scripture.

Ministry That Rips The Heart

Her name is Blessed. She is nearly 3 years old. She was born in adversity, oxygen deprived, now living with Cerebral Palsy. Her mother's name is Anolty.

She has been to several clinics and 2 hospitals for evaluation. They had no clue so told mother she was just undernourished.

When I heard the story, I realized what the problem is. I explained the difficulty to her family and told them to feed her a protein diet to help her develop as much as possible. I also told them her intelligence may be just fine and to teach her just as they teach others. Her speech may be distorted, but they could learn her language.

Thru this anguish, the mother has been coming to Church and this past Sunday, she come forward and said, "Today I now understand I must receive Jesus as my Savior. I must give my life to Him and believe in Him with all my heart." Then she bowed her head and asked the Lord to forgive her sins and take her life and come live with her. No prompting, just the plea of a repentant heart for deliverance from sin to salvation.

Adversity turned to glory, shame to joy, trials to eternal life in Christ.

"Yeah, dear Lord Jesus, just give me a few more years to see your glorious work among the children of men."
