Yosia

Yosia is our fun little not quite two year old of the group.  He is an only child and did not want to have any part of Kids Training in the beginning which is common of an only child.  But, now transformation has occurred in the life of little Yosia.  He no longer cries or hides behind a toy when spoken to.  He waddles up and loves to attempt to greet like the rest of the kids.  He and Jaclyn are the same age.  They are very sweet little friends of Petro and love to help him with seeing his picture cards.  He sits a part of the lessons and loves to sing.  He and his parents are a part of the Bagamoyo area.  His parents are Julius and Rehema and they are of the Fipa Tribe.

Don't let the world around you squeeze you into its own mold, but let God re-mold your minds from within, so that you may prove in practice that the plan of God for you is good, meets all his demands and moves toward the goal of true maturity.

Romans 12:2     

Jesus, draw Yosia to You today.  Pursue this child, as you did Paul.  As you have me.  Yosia is a workmanship, created in Jesus to fulfill Your perfect will (Eph 2:10).  Shape little Yosia in mind, body, spirit, and heart to please and serve You.  Don't let the world shape this little one that I care about so dearly.  Help him to experience your goodness today, to see through the world's deceptions.  We are Yours, all Yours (John 17:9!)  Keep on changing all of us into Your beautiful likeness (2 Cor. 3:18.)  In Your great name I pray.  Amen

 Yes, even little kids in Africa pretend they are talking on the phone!
