The Relentless Pursuit…

This is Michael….he is a normal 5 year old boy who LOVES to play!  Maddy and Michael have become good friends as they search for their next bug to trap. :)  He has lived here at Faith Village since he was 3 months old.  The story I want to share with you is a prime example of how the “thief” (that would be the devil, in case you were wondering), anyhow….the “thief” comes to steal, kill, and destroy peoples lives, BUT Jesus has come to give us an abundant life!” John 10:10

Michael’s mother died just a few days after he was born, and his father was killed in the first few days of his life as well.  I’ll spare you the details of these horrid events, to progress to a much brighter note…

Here is a newborn boy, so quickly made an orphan and nowhere to go.  That’s why Faith Village exists.  Michael spent his first few months at a relatives house, but in the mean time the authorities contacted the leaders at Faith Village to ask if they could take this baby boy.  This place has become a beacon of light in their region, and people KNOW who they are, the standard they live by, and about their God, the one and only big “G” God. :)  They are a living example of Matthew 5:16 “You are the light of the world.  A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.”

The devil tried to destroy this boys life before it even had a chance to begin, BUT our God turned that around, and now Michael is growing up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and being “trained” in the way he should go.  It’s awesome to be a part of such a great place.  check it out at www.trumpetsofchrist.org
