A Child’s Heart
In one of the villages in Masaka, Uganda, A young boy caught my attention. He put up his hand and in it was a piece of bread. Perplexity and curiosity filled my soul. I went over to him and introduced myself. “Did you know that Jesus loves you?” I said to him as he raised his hand toward my face. He said, “Yes. Can you tell me more? Here, this is for you, bread because I want you to tell me of Jesus, I hear that he is the bread of life.” Joy filled my heart as he shared with me all he that he was hungry for food but he wanted to hunger no more. He pointed to his heart and said,”Kitwale kiteeke muno ( take it, put it in here ). As tears began to stroll down my face, I began to tell him the good news of Jesus Christ. Later that day I heard he told his family.
“Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.” Mark 10:14
” He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:16

Jasmine,
You are a blessing to others as you have always been a blessing and a ray of sunshine to me. It is clearly evident that you have a calling to be a missionary of God’s word to our ancestors in Africa. You have a heart filled with love and without a second thought ….You are willing and ready to share this with anyone willing to hear and receive.
Just to go back a moment in time, I remember some dear times and conversations that we have shared in confidence and of course full throttle on the humor too! Jasmine, our friendship was a spiritual awakening for me as well as a journey to understand that we all have a wonderful and divine purpose. No matter where we come from or what our backgroud maybe we all are precious property belonging to God.
Please stay inspired and motivated to stand and deliver God’s message to all people! I know without a doubt that your financial needs to continue your mission will be met and more abundantly than you even need.
For you know God will supply all of our needs according to his riches in glory! Phillipians 4:19
Remain blessed and continue to allow God’s word to order your steps daily!
