Jesus loves the children of Atlanta

We had the great privilege of partnering with NightLight Atlanta for 2 evenings of outreaches in the intercity.  This is a ministry that reaches out to women and children exploited in the sex industry.  We joined the kids club outreaches in two "neighborhoods" of Atlanta and shared a UniShow and Jesus with the children.  At each event Dustin shared the Gospel and led kids in a prayer to receive Jesus.  After leading prayer at one outreach, Dustin explained that those who just prayed to receive Jesus are now children of God.  One boy who had prayed threw his fists in the air and said, "Yes!"  These kids desperately need to know they matter and have a heavenly Father who loves them extravagantly.

It was heartbreaking but we are thankful for the opportunity to share the love and hope of Jesus with these precious kids.  Please pray for the ongoing ministry of NightLight and their follow up weekly with these kids.  They will be leading the kids in a baptism service soon and we pray many kids will participate and take a bold and radical stand for Jesus and find His healing and love.

For the safety of the kids, we are not able to post any photos of these events.
