After a year of the Bible Story Class, my Assistant Director and I realized that some children just stood out, so we felt led by the Holy Spirit to offer a Bible Memory Class to a select few and thus began that class.

As we chose the class we called out the name of Jeremie but he was NOT who he thought he was. He was just a little tike! Then we asked the boy we really wanted what his name was and it was Emory. We had chosen his little brother Jeremie by mistake! We realized that we could not tell the little fellow that he could not come to the class so we let him remain. That was God mistake on our part. Over the last 8 years Jeremie, even as small as he was, has been our best and sharpest student! 

All of our students in the 2014-15 year received their certificates. However, Jeremie and Emory were the only ones who received theirs ‘with distinction’! Both young men have been excellent students.

My prayer for them is this: A well to do extended family member has flown them to Kinshasa for further education. They are now being exposed to ideas and temptations that they have never before experienced. I pray the Word of God sown into their lives “will not return void”. We pray the Word that has been sown into their hearts will bear fruit and in the years to come they will be able to live and apply those verses and books of the Bible to their daily lives.

Our prayer for each of you is that you will have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2016!
