“And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!'” Romans 10:15
One of the ministries that we work closely with is the Luz Del Mundo church (light of the world.) I love this little church. It is positioned in one of the most dangerous barrios of town, and happens to be a 5 minute walk from our house.
The ministries we do with them are a Monday morning kids program and then a Tuesday afternoon prayer meeting. This week I went to the prayer meeting and saw one of the most touching things.
When we first arrived, there was no one there for the prayer meeting so we started to prayer for people to come. When we had finished praying in walked a little boy and his little brother. They quietly took a seat in the back. I made my way over to them and started to talk to him. His name was Juan and he was 8 years old, he had come with his little brother Miguel Luis who was 10 months old both shirtless, shoeless and slightly dirty. I asked if they needed prayer and he said yes, he proceed to tell me that every night his little brother Miguel Luis gets a fever and cannot sleep. His mother had tried everything to help him get better, but to no avail. So he decided to bring him to our prayer meeting. I was blown away by the maturity this little boy had. He stood in the middle of our circle and allowed us to lay hands on him while we prayed for him.
In addition to this, I was reminded of how quickly these children have to grow up. The way he handled his little brother was just the way a mother should, patting his back, and bouncing him when he got fussy. You could tell that he had been taking care of his brother for a while now. Miguel Luis responded to him the way a child responds to their own mother. Looking at him and smiling, playing with his ears and cuddling close to his shoulder.
some days God does a wonderful job of breaking our hearts for the things that break His.
Continue to seek guidance from the Lord and you will be rewarded.
