Update on "Mark"

Thank you for your prayers for my student, I'll call him "Mark", who accepted Christ Wednesday night at bible study. Thursday was a bad day and I was wondering what God was doing. Mark would not listen in the classroom and refused to do any work. The master teacher had to call his mother who came swiftly and cursed Mark out in the hallway, sending him back into the classroom crying. I was so upset and wondered why his conversion didn't change his behavior.

It took me a while to realize that "Mark" probably does not know what it means to be a Christian, and that his discipleship will be a long process. I am not exactly sure how to disciple this child, but I will try my best and illicit the help of those attending the World Impact Church.

My cousin and I prayed for "Mark" today before school. We prayed specifically for his behavior and that he would have peace in the classroom. PRAISE THE LORD!!! He answered our prayers and Mark's behavior was much improved; his brilliancy really shined today through his interaction with others and his work in the classroom. Before I left, I asked him if he wanted me to pick him up for church on Sunday and he nodded. Then he said, "Miss Hill are you going to bible study on Wednesday too?" I told him I was...I look forward to seeing his growth in Christ and his journey in becoming a man of God.

Shalom!
