KidsPrayer in Africa
I'm just back from two weeks in Africa and am so full of incredible memories
that I hardly know where to begin. I'll start first with pictures, and in
the next few days I'll have an article posted.
Know this, kids in Africa have been praying, but now there is a
group of kids in Botswana and a group of youth in Zimbabwe who are beginning
to focus their prayer power on The Kingdom. The reactions of their teachers,
parents, and pastors are setting the stage for an explosion of spiritual
growth in these kids!
Enjoy the pictures and captions for now...

After hearing about the
need in China, this Afrikaans girl prayed to receive
the power of the Holy Spirit...

She feels called to be a missionary to China.
