“Let the little children come to Me, and don't stop them, because the kingdom of God belongs to such as these,” Luke 18:16b    

They put on a play…

People go to many countries around the world to help missionaries. Recently, some people from Oklahoma went to South Africa. On Monday morning, they put on a play at a school for first through eighth graders. The play helped the children understand that Jesus is the answer to any problem they have with sin.
 
The principal really liked the play and the stories the young people shared, so he asked them to talk with his family. He has two daughters and a son. The visitors encouraged the principal’s family to really live as a Christian family—to have family prayer time and read the Bible together. The team prayed for the family too. Then the children spent time with some of the younger visitors. That’s when it happened!
 
The principal’s 11-year-old son accepted Christ. Isn’t that exciting? Pray that the family will grow in understanding Jesus and what He teaches in the Bible. Pray that they will find a church. Pray for the principal to show the love of Jesus to the children at his school.

AN ANSWER FROM THE FIELD
We prayed for rain in West Africa and it finally came. Thunder and lightning and pouring rain! The Forsythe kids woke up giggling, joining the shrieks of laughter of the Senegalese kids outside. They all jumped and splashed in the puddles—it was the first big rain in Fatick since last October. Thank you for praying for rain. The Sereer farmers can really do their work now. Ask God to send just the right amount of rain for a big crop of millet. Millet is like corn meal—if your mom bakes corn bread, she starts with corn meal. Millet is a very important food for the Sereer people.
