Sitting out on the porch husking peanut shells at O’s house, I begin to hear one of the young boys, Ab, sing a song about J.s.s. It was a catchy song, one that we can all easy remember and sing again. As some of O’s children and I joined in with Ab we continued to sing this song over and over again.  Then one of O’s daughters turned to me and said “Ab woke up singing this song in the morning!” 

The previous day, Ab had been over to our apartment listening to this song about J.s.s and hearing Father’s W0rd. And this song was a song that stayed in his heart and mind throughout the night and into the morning. 

Ab is a part of O’s extended family; at a young age his mother died and his father does not live in the same compound. Without a mother, any known siblings or father that lives in the same compound, he is alone. Lately, L0ri and I have seen that O has been taking care of Ab and Ab looks up to O as a mother. Every time we work peanuts, Ab is around working with everybody else. When we bring J.s.s songs for O to hear, Ab is always by her side listening; sometimes even holding the mp3 player to his ear to listen intently. Often times we pr@y that young children like Ab would go to bed singing these songs about J.s.s and wake up the next morning with these same songs about J.s.s on their heart, in their mind and even singing them a loud for all to hear. It was amazing to see this pr@yer come to life!  

Please continue to pr@y for Ab and his continue interest in the J.s.s songs. Pr@y for his mind, eyes and heart be open to receiving J.s.s! Pr@y for his heart to be filled with the songs and words of J.s.s every night that he goes to bed and every morning that he wakes up.
