We attended Timor Nite tonight, a meeting to share about the vision God has given to churches in Singapore to transform this baby nation. It's historical as it's the first time churches, not missions agencies, of different denominations have formed an alliance to reach a nation and be involved in many aspects of the nation building.
We were given a card with the map of Timor on it, and some prayer pointers. While different people were going up to share, I whipped out the coloring pencils and and coloring book for Christen and a snack for Lauren to occupy them.
When it was time to pray for Timor, I gathered the kids and told Christen to pray for the children of Timor, that they would be healthy and strong and not get sick. So Christen prayed, " Dear God, please help the children to be strong and healthy. Help them to have clean water to drink so that they won't get sick." The clean water bit was mentioned by a doctor when he was sharing how the people in Timor didn't really need doctors. The children often suffered from diarrhea because of malnutrition and dirty water. The children and their parents really needed someone to tell them about hygiene and good nutrition.
Was Christen listening while she was coloring?
Did she understand it? Did she 'get' it?
Her prayer said it all.
