More pics from reconciliation of boys!

These four boys(Emmanuel, Emmanuel, Moses and Danladi) were all taken back the their families. They live in the same village and already had plans to meet with each other the day after we left them. :)




About 4 years ago, Moses was involved in some satanic things, which put his life in danger. This is the reason City Ministries took him in. Moses is a new creation and was really welcomed back into the family and community last week. Only God can do that.


Moses and his mother!

Each time we took a boy home, Elisha (our supervisor, on the right), explained to the family and neighbors the reason the boy is able to go back to his family. He also explained how the ministry will assist for some time, but that the real responsibility lies on the family and the community to raise the child.

Linus and me. Oh, I love this dear boy and will really miss him. BUT - look how happy he is! When we drove up to his house, his mother came running up to the car and embraced him in a way only a mother can. His life is a testimony of power, grace and freedom, as he was once a child of the enemy through witchcraft. Now, he serves his Savior and King, Jesus Christ.

Father God, take these children and use them mightily in their homes, schools and communities. Protect them from the attacks of the enemy that are sure to come, since they used to belong to him, but now are in the Lord's army. Equip them to fight the battles and to resist temptations. I pray, Lord, that you will protect them mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. They are Yours and I know You love them and hold them close to Your heart and will never let them go. We commit them to You. In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen.
