Our children have been at Good Samaritan since October 2003. Many remember what life was like for them in the village and our thankful to God for the opportunity that Good Samaritan has to offer them. Others seem to have forgotten. Some remember, but aren't thankful.
Over the next few years we will have more and more and more teens at Good Samaritan. Please continue to lift these precious children up in prayer. Please continue to pray for funding to help Good Samaritan prepare these children for adulthood and full-time Christian Service.
Brother Gentry and Thandie would like to feature some of our teens on the blog that are choosing to follow God and our Godly examples to their peers. Here are the first two:
Jason James is from the village of Jacket. He lives at Good Samaritan with his sister Alinafe. Jason is called to preach and he is the Pastor of the Good Samaritan Children's Home. The children refer to him as Pastor and he is humbled and grateful to the Lord for his calling to preach. Jason rises before the sun on Saturday morning and sets out for the long journey up prayer mountain. He spends hours on the mountain praying. Brother Gentry says that Jason has great leadership skills and encourages his peers. He sings in the choir and enjoys praising the Lord. He is a hard worker in the garden and one of our best "diggers". He never complains and sees each trial as another opportunity to learn and give God the Glory.
Meet Mersia. If there was an award for the most improved over the past year it would go to Mersia. She has turned around and decided to follow Jesus and it sure shows. She is singing in the lead choir on Sunday mornings and her voice is like an angel. She is earning top grades and is in the #1 position in her class. She is a hard worker and wants to do right. She is respectful and a good example to her peers.
