           F.R.I.E.N.D.S.   

F.R.I.E.N.D.S. is making such an impact in the lives of the children.  Rayquan is a second grader who has multiple problems at home and at school.  But God!  Yes, God stepped in and changed his entire life in one week.  He started the F.R.I.E.N.D.S program on a Thursday and then came to Bible study on Saturday.  At Bible study he gave his life to Jesus, that afternoon United In Him received a box of children’s clothes, most of which fit him and his brother perfectly.  Sunday, Rayquan and his brother came to church in their new clothes and have been faithful to come to Bible study and prayer every week over the past month.  Isn’t God amazing!  One child’s life has been changed forever.

Kyle, a fourth grade student who has an extremely difficult home life, was moved into Vicki’s classroom as a last resort in order to see if she could help him.  He has been suspended numerous times and had an “I don’t care” attitude about everything.  His entire countenance has changed since he was moved into her classroom.  He smiles more… He is doing his work.  He listens and really cares about his behavior and is trying hard to succeed.  The F.R.I.E.N.D.S program has literally changed his life as he has found one young man who really cares about him.

The greatest miracle this month has been the outpouring of God’s power during our Monday night prayer meeting and weekly Bible study.  Last month, the Lord led us to establish a core group of kids who exemplify the love of Jesus and have the potential to help lead the ministry.  These are kids who have the potential to be great leaders, but need to be equipped with the proper training in order to become Godly leaders of the next generation.  We never thought that within one month they would rise up and begin leading the other children into worship and prayer.  The children have learned to pray for the other children, and now carry the vision of reaching the entire community for Jesus.

In the past when 20 kids showed up to prayer, it became more of a time of disciplining the children to prepare them to pray.  Now instead of the adults praying, the children form small groups with an adult and they do most of the praying.  They pray for their families and the people they know in jail.  They ask God to help them teach the people about Jesus so that they can have a clean heart.  They ask God to help them in school and to help them do what is right.

In addition to the children, we also have 3 faithful F.R.I.E.N.D.S. mentors who have been coming to prayer on Monday night.  This is such an answer to many months of prayer as we desperately needed men to begin to help lead the children.

Our prayer focus this month is for a young second grader, Ieisha, who spends many days watching her 3 younger siblings.  She is a child herself and really needs her mother.  We are asking God to totally transform this family and to bring all of them to the saving knowledge of Jesus.
