DISCIPLE MAKING
Before Jesus ascended into heaven He commanded us to "make disciples". We're encouraged each time we hear stories about our orphan students becoming more like Christ. Our teachers feel the same way. This is what Teacher Laurantine (Cite de la Paix school/partner of Marion GBC) shared with us:
"There is a child in my class named Gad who is almost blind. He is 8 years old and even though he cannot see the board, he is always the first child to answer questions. He learns even without seeing.
If children are quarreling, or if a fellow student has done something wrong, he will go to them and provide council. He wants to help the children in his class and even assists adults in our church. Several times when he heard that someone was ill he went to their home to lay hands on them and pray with them. Perhaps he will be a pastor someday. Watching him become who God made him to be gives me so much joy!"~
