I don't have a picture to show you, but I just wanted to share this story with you: Peter was purchasing some newly caught fish from one of the local fisherman's homes. When he went to pay for them, the woman asked if she could trade the fish for a pair of shoes for her 17 year old daughter. He told her that the shoes were free, and Christians from our town in USA donated them for the people here to enjoy. He paid for the fish, and led the girl to our camper to try on the shoes. She found a nice pair, and when she started to leave, I offered her a N.T. Her eyes opened wide & she quickly asked if she could trade the shoes for the Bible!! I had to smile, as I had never known anyone who was so excited to have her own copy of God's Word! I gave her a hug, told her she was welcome to both, and showed her the back of the N.T. that gave the plan of salvation. Again, I see God working in so many different ways, and am so glad for our "partners" in this ministry! Please pray for this young girl, that she would understand what she is reading, & receive Jesus into her heart, and grow in Christ as she obeys His Word!
