Transformation: Be part of the story

Part of my week in San Antonio included short “minute for missions” presentations in church.  I’m seeing so many good stories, so much evidence of God’s hand in the midst of hard situations, that I figured on just reading a few of those stories. I started scribbling notes on colorful index cards I would wave at the congregation as I read them.

But on Friday I got a letter that totally changed my tack.  My sponsored child, Rani from Bangladesh, wrote a short 5-6 sentence note in reply to a letter I’d sent about two months ago. Rani is about 15 years old; I know that she struggles a bit with school and her health has been rated as “fair” by FH staff. She asks for a lot of prayer to pass her exams.

But this time, she said she had prayed for MY family.
