Friday night I met a sweet young girl named Lokatia, and her friend, Brightness. Lokatia is 11 years old...she and Brightness attended our CityCelebration - our community outreach event, in a market area of Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. I noticed the girls on the front row while I was singing; they had beautiful, inquisitive smiles...happy and curious to know what the Americans were doing here in their town...
At the time of invitation, after the singing and testifying and preaching about the Lord Jesus and what He did on the cross for us...those two girls, along with about 40 others lifted their hands, and said they wanted Jesus Christ to be Lord of their lives!
As we were leaving, Lokatia and Brightness came over to me, and as I greeted them, I asked them...what did you learn tonight? Why did you lift your hands and pray with David? Lokatia said, "I accepted Jesus into my heart!" I asked, have you ever heard of Jesus before now? Have you ever heard of how He loves you, and has a wonderful plan for your life? She answered, "No, I have never heard of Him...but now I have Him in my heart!"
I praise God that He is able to speak to our hearts, to show Himself to those who do not know Him...to reach out from heaven and touch the hearts of two young girls in Zimbabwe...whose names are now written in the Lamb's Book of Life!
