I’m experiencing one of the sweetest ways to share the gospel each day. Here in Ecuador I get the opportunity to read and share a short devotional with 1st-6th graders everyday during their school day!
These kids are hungry for the truth of the gospel!!
Yesterday I shared the story of John the Baptist, a friend of Jesus. I said, “Did you know you could be friends with Jesus?” Ten little eyes lit up with excitement, “No!” I continued, “Jesus is my friend and He wants to be your friend too!”
The more we learn about Jesus the more we can share who He is to others just like John the Baptist did. While I am here I plan to go through the life of Jesus with the kids and learn how we can be just like Him.
I can’t imagine a sweeter way to spend the last six weeks of my race. For most of these kids this is the first time they have ever heard these Bible stories. Please continue to pray that their hearts would be opened to hearing the truth and share with their families!

Ha that was a bunch of hearts!! Guess it didn’t go thru right.
Katherine, I’ll be sharing this with your pre-school teachers at Two Rivers! You have heard that Jesus is your friend there since the cradle. Praise God, it stuck! And along the way such a simple truth moved from your head to your heart. By the time you were a middle schooler, you and I were teaching together as a team to the little ones at Two Rivers. You quickly grew in your independence in your care and nurturing of the littles, and now you are loving, teaching, and sharing such a simple, yet profound truth with “the least of these”…. to the ends of the earth.
This Mama’s heart is full, and I couldn’t be more proud of you. Keep repeating it:
“Jesus is your friend.” With prayers that the Truth sticks and changes lives!
