We covet your prayers for a young boy we refer to as "The Bible" because of his amazing ability to hold onto stories from God's Word. Many of you who've come here know and love him as he's such a sweet kid. He has been a believer for four years and led many of his friends to Christ. We received word yesterday that he'd recanted his faith in Christ. We thought this unbelievable until I called him and he confirmed this and then hung up on me. I called right back and his friend answered saying he wasn't there. I drove over and found him and asked what was going on. He said Satan was tempting him but he was still following Jesus. I pressed a little more and with tear-filled eyes (that doesn't happen much around here) explained that his dad told him he must deny Jesus or get out but he could no longer remain there as a Christian. He asked me to please have all of you pray for him to remain strong and for his dad's heart to be changed. Thanks for your prayers.
Praying now.
