On Wednesday nights we drive out to a coffee plantation about 30 minutes from our house for a home Bible study. Our mentors, Allen and Rebecca Alexander, have started a house church there made up of 4 adult women and about 15 kids! The kids range in age from 4-14. They listen intently to the Bible story and about 5 of the boys are really quick to recognize the deeper spiritual significance of the stories. It has been a real blessing to see these young kids thirsty for the Word. Each time we drive up to the house, they all come running outside to greet us.
We meet in the house of Maria who worked on the coffee plantation until she had to quit to take care of her very sick child. She has a nine year old girl named Stephanie who has renal failure. Just a few months ago, she was not expected to live. In fact, she was so full of fluids from improper care at a hospital that she looked like she was seven months pregnant. But Praise the Lord, the Alexanders have been helpful in getting proper treatment for her and she is doing so much better now. If you would, please take time right now to pray for Stephanie. She is such a precious little girl who has been through so much in her short life.
