Bobi's 16th birthday

Bobi, one of our "kids" in Connor's House, recently celebrated his 16th birthday. Daniel took all 5 of our "kids" out for dinner. It was a real treat for all of them and for us as well. When asked what he wanted to be when he became an adult, Bobi answered that he wanted to be a preacher. Daniel says that he often finds Bobi in the worship center early on Sunday mornings singing or reading the Bible. This is unusual for the autistically handicapped young man who when he first arrived at Connor's House seldom if ever sang or even spoke to anyone. It has been a real joy to all of us to see him developing some social skills and taking more interest in his studies (he's still a freshman in high school). Family members who came to wish him well on his birthday commented to Daniel that they see a marked improvement in his development. It is our prayer that we will be able to help him use his life and his skills in a way that will always glorify God and be a blessing to himself and others. He was recently baptized and it looks like he's moving in the right direction. If you would like to be a part of his development and progress, send a donation to Kids of Indonesia, P. O. Box 1881, Fremont, NE 68025.
