Faith of a Child

Many of you have heard stories about one of our students, Amy. She is in E4 this year. Amy has become a part of our mission family because Petrea (an amazing member of our team) has built a strong relationship with her and her family. Amy has begun to come to church with us and she spends a lot of time with the team; always asking questions and learning about Christ.

In her E4 writing class, her teacher this year Anna (another amazing team member) assigned the students to write a letter. This is Amy's letter:

Dear Teachers (she named each of us individually, I will spare you),

How are you? Do you know that all of us believe in God and Jesus? Do you know that we are a part of God's familes? I hope that we can go to church every Sunday and be together. Sometimes I really enjoy that we eat lunch together. Do you all pray to God every day?

Do you read the Bible every day? Do you enjoy it? Maybe someday, we can tell people to believe in Jesus and we can also tell them to go to church because church is such a beautiful place!

Your Family Member, Amy

Amy has been such a blessing to us at CELA and to our entire team. She has embraced her faith with such enthusiasm. She tells her family and friends about God and invites them to church. Amy gives us smiles and encouragement every time she sees us. Our little missionary!

Praise God for the students like Amy. Please continue to pray for Amy and for all of our students at CELA as they learn about Christ's love for them. Please pray that all of our students would embrace God's love as passionately as Amy has.
