So last night was our official opening of the D.O.Gs program.  That stands for Disciples of God, which is the youth program that I've been working with.  I can't express how encouraged I was as we silenced the room and one by one we allowed the students to lift their prayers up to God.  I was nearly brought to tears as they went on. I could hear real genuine passion in their words.  Here are youth who have SO much going on in their lives.  Girls who have been taken from their homes of Zimbabwe and forced to live in a country not their own, who cannot even afford to go to school.  Students who have been abandon by their parents or who have lost their family members from HIV or who themselves have it.  Girls who have been raped and abused.  There is more going on in their lives than any of us could ever even fathom but their passion and their faith is so strong.  They cling to God with all that they have.  I see God doing a great thing here in Jeffreys Baai, he has done such a huge transformation in the hearts of the youth and I do not doubt that he's going to use them to impact this community.  It brings me such joy to know I can invest my time here in these students and rest assure that GOd will finish the work He has begun and His ministry here will never end.  Please keep praying for them.  Pray that they will seek the Lord with their whole hearts, that they will turn from the wickedness of this world and fall into the arms of the One who offers them redemption and restoration.  Pray they will stand up for their faith and set an example to all around them.  They need your prayers, please think of them.
