“Lord, please bring the children that need my specific help to me today.” That was my prayer as I looked around the orphanage at Bon Repos today. A ten year old boy named Stevenson had been at my side since the moment I sat down.

I, however, being the teenage girl that I am wanted a baby to hold, one who would hold me and fall asleep on me. At this very moment, I prayed the above prayer. I knew at that moment that this young boy needed my loving presence. He asked me to hold him and I did. I held Stevenson until we left. I could feel the longing in his hugs. I was holding him in my arms and he was pressing as close as he could to me to lay his head on my shoulder. I sat down with him to allow him to eat and he sat on my lap with his arms around me.
When the hot dogs were passed out he continued to hold his arm around me and ate his hot dog with the other hand. He would not let his hand leave me. I even had to feed him his drink. Wow! This little boy wanted to be loved so much.

My God, thank You for allowing me to love on this child. It was so evident that he needed loving. Thank you for allowing me to experience that!

Tonight I had the most incredible moment in my life. At devotion, we stood up and emotions were flowing. Tonight we all became David’s throwing stones at the Goliath of Satan and voodoo in this country. This was the most powerful experience in my life.

I imagine God, flooding this land with His love, breaking the boundaries that have been created. God is doing BIG things. Pease join us in praying for this land. God is doing great things and will continue. I know it. Beni swa Letènèl! Praise the Lord!
