Small Victories

I'm sitting here listening to a rain storm. It's a lovely Sunday
afternoon, some rain to bring a break from the heat but not the
humidity. 10 Boarding Students will arrive today. Reading a book and
thanking God for all the great things that happened this week.
Barwa read a whole book, he is growing in confidence and skill.
Lawal came back.
Yusuf said "Thank You God" after an intense scene in 'Swiss Family
Robinson' using English and giving Praise to God!
Salihu continues to grow in leadership as he talked in length with our
security staff about proper behavior.
Umar gains courage each day to speak what he knows.
Ado learns with a fierce desire, eating up any knowledge you give him.
Ishaka has manners to beat any other 9 year old I know.
Mohammadu can beat almost everyone at a game of checkers.
Today 10 more friends will join us as we celebrate the small victories.
Some days ministry is a struggle but we cling to the good and find our
answers in Jesus.
