No Longer a Slumdog<br />

Since then, Sagen and his young “prayer partners” have been<br />

called on to pray for many other people in the village. When<br />

Sagen’s grandfather became ill with stomach pains, he simply<br />

said, “Sagen, you k<strong>no</strong>w how to pray. Would you please pray for<br />

me” The next day his grandfather<br />

told him, “Because of your<br />

Witness the incredible power of children’s prayer.<br />

The Power of the Meek<br />

prayers, I got healed.”<br />

It has gotten to the point<br />

that whenever anyone in the village gets sick, they call for the<br />

boys on this prayer team. God is using these boys’ prayers to open<br />

up many hearts to Himself.<br />

Sagen continues to pray because as he puts it, “Really, it’s so<br />

amazing to speak with the Creator of all! And when we pray to<br />

Jesus, we feel good in our hearts.”<br />

I am overwhelmed when little children like this get involved<br />

in the work of the Lord! No wonder Jesus said, “I tell you the<br />

truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will<br />

never enter the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 18:3). We have<br />

much to learn from these young ones.<br />

Families Flourish<br />

Parents of the children in our GFA Bridge of Hope centers<br />

often tell us of amazing things that happen in their homes<br />

through their kids. The children act as the conduit of God’s love,<br />

teaching their parents what they have learned.<br />

Here is the story of one such family that was changed by their<br />

son’s involvement in a GFA Bridge of Hope center. The boy’s father,<br />

Rajiv, relates what happened.<br />
