Praying

Keep on Praying….It Makes a Difference 

  “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”   Ephesians 6:12   

In Marikaj last spring, it seems a group of kids pressured and made fun of many of the children attending the Bright Star Program. The group said the children shouldn’t go anymore because their families were Muslims and by their attending they were not being good, loyal Albanians. As a result about 10 of the children stopped participating.

The Bright Star Team became concerned because some of these children had been faithful to the meetings for a long time. After much prayer, the team determined that they should visit the parents of the absentee children. Marinela visited a home and talked with the family about this situation and how much their daughter was missed at the meetings. The family’s response was warm, but nothing changed immediately.

The team was encouraged, however, when during the first week of August, the girl whose family was visited, began coming back to the meetings. Praise God!  

Never think that prayer isn’t important.
