Making a difference

Just a brief anecdote.

The other day a missionary mother peeked into my classroom and thanked me for working with her children, two of which were in Ike's and my class. Later, I heard from a co-team member that a couple of days later, this mother had mentioned to my colleague that her son had been very unhappy with returning to Niger and the Sahel school here in Niamey several months ago.

Happily, her son has been touched by God's blessing this week, from Ike's teaching in class and from making some new friends among the other MKs. This has been a real boon for his family, who were experiencing stress and worry over him, and the negative effect on their family life here, resulting from his previous unhappiness.

Thank you for giving generously to our team and for praying for us and our ministry here in Niger. Your giving and prayers are really making a difference here.
