At least 15 of my boys placed their trust in Jesus today.
I don't have a play-by-play account, no dramatic story...just the grace and miracle of God, which in itself is amazing. It's the same grace and the same miracle that drew me to Himself almost five years ago. It's the same grace and miracle that overcame many distractions from the Word in the past week (such as a bleeding child). It's the same grace and miracle that did something in these boys hearts that they couldn't help but be silent as they heard about the great love of Jesus. It was the love, grace, and work of God that led the boys to stand up, to come to the front of the classroom, and one-by-one explain to my translator and I the decision they were making and what it meant to them.
It was a gift of God to hear these boys say that they want to follow the Lord, love the Lord, be close to the Lord, and obey the Lord. It was a gift of God to be able to help the boys pray and hear 15ish voices at the same time (though, in a language I don't understand) ask Jesus to come into their lives. And it was a gift of God to pray with them and over them as their lives have changed forever.
Salvation isn't about big, dramatic voice-in-the-sky stories. It's about God's love and His grace. That's what's so amazing.
Pray for these boys. Pray they would grow up to be men of God who love Him and treasure Him.
