Godfrey goes to School

Godfrey goes to School
It’s so moving to see people get a second chance, especially one of the kids that I have come to care about. A few months ago I had a serious talk with Godfrey about his life. I accused him of liking his street life. He looked at me shocked. I suddenly realised what a harsh accusation it was and wished I could have taken

it back. I had put my foot in it (again) and there was no turning back…. so I continued to challenge Godfrey to get off the street. I told him that if he got off the street I would look for a donor for him to go to school. Over the following two months Godfrey struggled to make a change. Immediately after getting settled in a centre he started bugging me to go to school.
I started to pray and within the week through a chance g-mail conversation one of my good friends has pledge to send him to school. Isn’t God amazing?
I visit him and he is so excited, he runs to change into his uniform to show me, gets out his school bag so I can admire it. He shows me his tests and how well he did in each one. I am excited to see how the Lord is at work and will continue to work in his precious child.A few weeks ago I threw a birthday party for seven of the kids who have managed to climb out of the pit of street life into homes or centres and start school. They each gave their testimony summarising what God had done in their life. It was so encouraging to see Godfrey and some of the kids I have written about previously get up and speak. Godfrey started off talking about life on the street and his brother soon called out “and Brenda said you liked it” and Godfrey continued that he then had to prove me wrong and with Gods help he is now going to school. The battle is not over for Godfrey or his friends the street is always calling, a strong temptation difficult to break. We need to war with these boys and grils!!
