it is happening<br />

After attending the Bridge of Hope center, my<br />

son used to come home and say, “This is what my sir<br />

said, and this is what our teacher taught us.” Regarding<br />

spiritual life, regarding our way of living and regarding<br />

our health and hygiene, he would come and<br />

tell us. It was kind of exciting! So, when my son says<br />

something to me, for example, about hygiene, I am<br />

changing.<br />

Some of the things he says about prayer and<br />

about Jesus really touch me. Slowly by slowly, I am<br />

changing according to what he says to us.<br />

The Bridge of Hope really brought a kind of<br />

revival in me spiritually. Basically I’m an illiterate<br />

person. I do <strong>no</strong>t k<strong>no</strong>w how to read and write. Many<br />

times my son would come and say words he learned at<br />

the Bridge of Hope center. “This is what the Word of<br />

God says.” So many times when we would do wrong<br />

things, the Word of God would speak to us. And because<br />

it was the Word of God speaking, we changed<br />

a lot.<br />

We have prayer every day in our home for 15<br />

to 20 minutes. My son reads the Bible, and we sing<br />

some songs. Now Jesus is the main focus of our life.<br />

We can<strong>no</strong>t leave Jesus and go anywhere, because Jesus<br />

is with us and He guides us every day. This kind of<br />

spiritual awareness, through my son, I got through<br />

Bridge of Hope.<br />
