We have been back in Chad a little over three months, and it seems like the months have flown by! The kids have adjusted really well and picked right back up with their neighbor friends. They participate in an Arabic lesson 3 times a week and include their friends in the lesson. It has been encouraging to not only see their Arabic improve, but their confidence and desire to learn more and more. Equally encouraging, Isaac specifically asks often about his friend’s beliefs. His closest friends here go to Quranic school three times each day! We are saddened by the reality that these children we love – and who have been a blessing to our family – are growing up right next to us without knowing the Truth of the gospel. Isaac has asked me to think of ways to talk to them about Jesus. He is concerned that they don’t know the one, true God. So, after we return from our travels next month, I hope to start sharing audio Bible stories in Arabic and provide a time for discussion with these young boys.
Thank God for our children’s adjustment and growth in Arabic.
Thank Him for providing them with friends who are respectful and trustworthy.
Thank God for Isaac’s heart to share the gospel with his friends whom he loves.
Pray that the story times will be well- received, and that the Truth will begin to sink into the hearts of these young boys.
