Praise the Lord for his kindness and mercy!
A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned a boy named *Rex. (Name changed for privacy and security.) He came to CEI with a huge anger problem. One time, I even had to wrap my arms around him and pull him, kicking and screaming, away from a fight. When the end of the week came and he was not any better, wondered if the Character Institute had helped him at all. But, some kids are just a lost cause, and we figured he was one of them.
Yesterday, he called Yellow and asked to meet up with us. So, while Yellow, LanCi, and I were at the BBQ, his mother drove him half and hour to come see us. He said, since CEI his anger is not as big a problem anymore. Looking at him, you saw it. He was a completely different boy. The anger had melted into genuine love and concern for others. Everytime I said something, he asked for the translation. -He didn't want to miss anything. He even asked the teachers questions to learn more about us. And he wanted to share gifts with us. This is a total change from the boy we had at camp two weeks ago.
Praise the Lord that he answers prayer and intervened in this boy's life! We are seed planters, but God privileged us to see the fruit of our work here. *Rex is SO much happier. Thank you prayer warriors for praying.
KEEP PRAYING! *Rex's battle is not over yet, but he's on the winning side! KEEP PRAYING! Our work here is not finished. There are more children to reach. KEEP PRAYING! There are still many souls that need won. Thank you for bringing me and my ministry before the throne of grace.
