As we headed to yet another donor appointment, I felt I was beginning to
understand a bit of what our people in Papua New Guinea experience as
semi-nomadic hunter-gathers. Ok, I wasn’t hunting or gathering food in
the jungle, but I was beginning to feel semi-nomadic. Since joining AFM,
we have traveled many miles encouraging people to get involved in
missions. But this Sabbath, we witnessed missions at work.
A little girl, about seven years old, attended Sabbath School for the
first time. She was bright and had many questions. During prayer time,
she requested prayer for her sick daddy who smoked. “I know that if I
can find a Bible and sneak it under his pillow at night, he will get
better,” she said. What a beautiful example of a little child trying to
understand the power of God. In Sabbath School, we had the opportunity
to share the love of Jesus with her, and she was so eager to learn. With
the Lord’s help, she might possibly be the next little missionary in
that town.
I look forward to the opportunity to teach the Ama children about Jesus’
love. What a blessing it will be when the Ama children begin sharing
their songs and memory verses with their parents and family members.
If you have always wanted to be a missionary, this is your chance. You
may not be able to travel to other lands personally, but you can join us
and experience the joy of little hearts turning to Jesus. Your prayers
and monthly support will help us reach Ama children. —Pam Lello
