One of my Greatest Experiences with God: I was on a mission in Uganda and was very frustrated about not being able to keep the children’s attention, especially when talking to them about the lord. There were over 2000 children and most were busy playing and running around. I tried everything I knew. I was ready to pack everything up early, even before letting them have an opportunity to hear the Gospel Message. I asked our team to pray while I went out one last time to talk to them. As soon as I went out, every child sat down and was perfectly quiet as I told them about their need for Jesus. Hundreds of children responded. The amazing power of God and prayer.
