13 Year-Old Girl Forgives Earthly Father After Receiving The Love of Her Heavenly Father
ABC Discipleship In Action
One pastor at the conference invited our team to their church where they also have a girls home for twenty young ladies. Our team met them for the first time as they are new students in our ABC program. While sitting and talking to them, they discovered these girls are victims of the current situation in Myanmar. Several of their families sent them away from the fighting to live in this home, while others were outright disowned by their parents, forced to live on the streets and provide for themselves.
Our country directors connected with him and now all 20 of the girls in their home are studying our ABC material together! While visiting their home, our team witnessed these young ladies reading and writing in their books. Taking in all they could from God’s word and digesting it into their hearts!
3 Yes’s = A Healed Heart
They shared how they never heard about Jesus or understood salvation before they got to this home and started going through our ABC curriculum. One 13-year-old girl told our team that studying her ABC books taught her about forgiveness and “gave her the strength to forgive her father.” No one will truly understand the pain or abuse she may have endured from her earthly father, but her heavenly Father not only understands, but is giving her the strength to find healing!
This moment was the culmination of the generosity of the partners of World Compassion, met with the coordination of our leaders and distributors of ABC Discipleship curriculum and the perseverence of these pastors looking for a way to bring truth and healing to the hearts of the girls that God has brought into their care. God strategically orhestrated this young girl’s healing through the hands of World Compassion partners, local leaders on the ground and a Pastor’s simple ‘yes.’ This is how we disciple the nations!
