My Best Friend

Mutale & his "best friend" Micah playing the drum in church

 Last Sunday, whilst helping some of the sunday school children at the water fountain after church, I came across a little boy, about 6 or 7 yrs old.  I asked him, "Who are your parents?' Often the children are running around playing all together & it is sometimes hard to know which children belong to which parents.  This boy seemed newer. "I don't have any parents" he replied. Taken back, I asked "who brought you to church?" "My friend." he answered.  "Can you get your friend?" He darted off &
returned moments later with a small group, pretty excited to have personal time with the pastor.. "Here is my friend" he said.  "And where are your parents?" I asked the friend. "They aren't here, they're at home.."he answered.  "So who told you about the church?"  "Oh, I've been coming for a long time now! (I think it's only been about a month:) And Micah is my best friend! " He grins and I am left amazed, at the mysterious work of God, touching the lives of children in the area..
