WHEN WE CALL, GOD ANSWERS



God really answers before we really call on Him, especially when it is something we can't do or seems an impossible reach for us. He especially loves the prayers of children.  They are usually very innocent, sincere and their belief system is not clouded by their experiences, so they are able to trust that God will answer their prayers for sure more than we as adults.

Kominote Ti Fanmi Nou de Diakonos' children love the Lord so much. They wake up every morning between 5am and 6 am for their morning devotion and between 7pm and 8pm for their nightly devotion. The worship is usually led by Roodyna, seen here at the podium. Their play time mostly include make believe church and preaching, as seen in these pictures. Our little boy Herve, sitting on front the left, sometimes shares his pastoral duties with Abraham with Roodyna as the worship pastor and Mirna, seen next to her below, as the assistant worship leader.



It is written in 1 Corinthian 2:9: Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.

These children have gone through so many disasters in their little lives than most of us have seen in our entire lifetime.  I'm quite advanced in age and I have not experienced half of what they, at 5 through 16, have seen especially in the last year or so and, I started with the 5 year olds because before that they probably might not understand their calamities. From insecurity since 1986, to 4 devastating hurricanes in September 2008, to mudslides in September of 2009, and the infamous earthquake of January 12, 2010. How much more do you think these little children can survive?

But God hears their little prayers and He answers them and "delivers them out of all their troubles". These are the real SURVIVORS. Ummm!! That's sounds like a good title for show to me.

These lively tent church ceremonies are so wonderful, not only for the children who have fun, but I imagine that God looks forward to these momentss and quickly rolls HIS his high golden chair right on the edge of the universe to look down and enjoy the spectacular view of these kids' worship sessions.





How then could HE have not answered a simple little prayer like "give us running water".

So HE sent his helpers and they worked and worked and finally got them running water. What a beautiful sight!  Finally running water in the house. Now all they need is a water tank to keep the water in.
