God Listens

He really does listen to our prayers. Before the 2 hour assembly on the last day, we knelt outside and just prayed. We prayed that God would touch these kids' hearts through our skits, songs, and testimonies. At that moment, I could feel God's wind, and I know I wasn't the only one. We were all pretty tired, having stayed up till 3 the previous night in preparation. But somehow the wind seemed to give us strength and it was calming. It was our giving everything up to God to just answer our prayers. We prayed so much for these kids to just feel God's presence and see His love. God listened to our prayers.
During the assembly when the pastor did an alter call we saw a lot of the kids crying. A lot of kids also raised their hands hoping that we could pray for them. It was moving. Previously, I had thought that all I would be able to do was just know them. But the last day proved me wrong. God used all of us to just move these kids to tears. Similar to Michael, 10 out of 12 of my class raised their hands to accept Jesus in their lives. (One left early and the other didn't come). It was amazing.
But yet as we start the second week, I can't help but be worried for them. These kids won't have that much of a Christian influence once we leave. But I know that God listens. My worrying will do no good. All I can do is put them in God's hands. God will provide.
