monday the first day of V.B.S a child in my class had never heard of God or Jesus. he had lived with a mother that was addicted to drugs and alchole. she lived a sad life that led to her kids being remove from her care. this child went to live with his father which has atleast promitted him to attend child with an aunt. Tuesday we studied John the Baptist. as we talked about baptism I really get his attention. he started asking tons of question with was wonderful. One of his Questions was: How will i know when its my turn to be baptised? i tried to explain to him on his level and i hope that with Gods help it was good enough. i know God sent him to us for a reason and i hope and pray i can teach him good enough i change his life and make a differents. as he is only 8 yrs. old i hope we can reach him in time. He has had his on little Hell. and he can behave really bad that can be expected from him because of this mothers way of life. i have in 2 days learned to love this child because of his innocents. I am asking from all who read this please help me pray for him and also pray that i can teach him good enough to help change his life in the teaching of God. I would like for this child to now know Heaven is much sweeter that the other opions he has already been taught.

That is fantastic,you have already touched his life. Hopefully after VBS he can still attend church and Sunday school. If he feels he is rewady to be Baptised then he should be given the chance to talk to your Minister or youth minister if you have one. My daughter is 9 and plans on being Baptised next week. I will add you and the child to my daily prayers.

Thank God that he is coming to your VBS! I know God will help you to get thru to this little boy. I believe God sent him to you for a reason. This child needs to know all about God and how much He loves him. I feel sorry for his mother, who obviously does not know the Lord and is not raising this little boy the way that she should. He needs to know the Lord and you are helping him to do just that! Praise God for you! I will pray that God will help you to get thru to this little boy! God bless you for what you are doing!
