From the Mouth of a Child
February 22, 2010
Nine-year-old Jacqueline responded quickly to receive Christ after she watched the “JESUS” film in Lilongwe, Malawi. The next evening she shared her testimony before another showing of the film. She confidently spoke: “… although I am just a small girl, yesterday God touched my life in a very real way. When I saw Jesus instructing the elders to allow children to come to Him, I was moved in my heart and felt that He was inviting me personally. So the invitation was my opportunity to meet Jesus. … I can confidently say Jesus came into my life. He is with me now, and I feel I love Him so much. He can come into your heart, too, and give you the peace that He has given me.”
The film team could see Jacqueline’s words captivated her audience, yet at the invitation following the film, no one came forward. Jacqueline rose to speak again, encouraging the crowd: “I know that many of you have been touched, but you think these people are Satanists, and you are afraid that they will steal your souls. That is a lie from the devil. He is deceiving you into missing your lifetime opportunity. These people have come here to bring the gospel in picture. It’s a rare opportunity, but God wants to touch someone here. I appeal to you, my parents and my friends, come and let God touch and change your lives the way He did mine last night.” That night 407 people responded, which opened a door to ministry in Lilongwe. The following night even greater response occurred. God worked powerfully-from the mouth of this little girl!
