Leading Children to Christ

Samuel and the FCV CHOIR

 

 

 

 

 

 

Time flies, doesn’t it? It’s hard to believe that it’s already July and we are half-way through the year! We have been doing lots of things at FCV to redeem the time, from chores and singing, to fun games, Bible lessons, and school. There are so many ways we could spend our time that we have to choose wisely.

One of the ways we try to use our time wisely is by winning souls for Christ! We make it our aim to share the gospel with each child at the Village and help them see they do not have all the time in the world to make the decision to come to Christ. 

One child who came to know Christ this June is Samuel Bwalya. Samuel loves to spend his time singing for the Lord with his friends at the Village. His desire to sing for the Almighty, led him to ask so many questions about where he would spend eternity if he were to die today? With that fearful question bothering him, Samuel knew the answer was time for him to make things right and come to Christ. We praise the Lord for God’s work in Samuel and that he responded and became a child of God!

Today, Samuel is singing with a purpose and understanding that Christ lives in him. He wants many people to know that Christ came and died for us. One of the verses he has come to love is Philippians 1:21 which says; “For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain!”

Thank you for taking the time to pray for us and for your participation in this ministry. God bless you all!
