Come as a Child

Each Saturday God calls the children to come to CC Masantol for children’s Bible study, singing and coloring. Every Saturday I am amazed and blessed as I see the little ones line up in droves outside the CC gate. It would be great if all people would line up like that to come to Jesus. Jesus told us, "“Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”

Rommil almost always is one of the ones in the front of the line. On other days when he visits the chapel, many times he will do a cartwheel. He usually cannot get his legs up over his head, even though he is small. The cartwheel is typically followed by summersaults down the aisle. Oh to be a six year old again. I like to think that Rommil is just overly excited about Jesus. Many times the extra energy Rommil has gets him in trouble. He has so much energy he cannot sit still. But with more than 100 other children he faithfully comes each Saturday. Pray that he along with others will understand and except the truth of the gospel. They so need Jesus.
Rommil comes from a broken home. Before becoming ill his Dad was a gambler and drug user. Though family has tried to share Jesus, his father Camillo continues to reject hope. Now Rommil's Dad is dying. His heart and other organs are failing. The doctors sent him home from the hospital with only weeks to live. At 43 and near death, Camillo needs Jesus but keeps saying no. It seems so much more difficult for an adult, hardened by sin to come to Jesus. Pray for Vino and others as they share God's love with him. Pray for Rommil and his four year old brother John John. They so need the love and comfort of Jesus.
