Chocolate Cake

Chocolate cake speaks volumes in any language – especially to kids!
These kids had never seen us before and they were scared of us at first but we won their hearts by taking them chocolate cake.
Now we are praying that Jesus will win their hearts with His love as His Word has just arrived in their village and their Dads and Mums are hearing the truth about God for the first time in their lives. Pray that light will flood their hearts and that these children grow up being children of light and not children of darkness.
These kids need something of far more value then chocolate cake. They need life without end, they need truth, they need to know that Jesus loves them and gave His life for them.
While my arms were wrapped around the little girl leaning on me in the above picture, I could feel the amulets that her parents had tied around her waist in a vain effort to ward off evil spirits. Their trust is in the powers of the witchdoctor and in their own efforts but we need to pray that they will be freed from this terrible oppression and darkness and will come into freedom and life!
