Almost 8 years ago a little girl was raped by her father.  She was 9 years old.  9 months later at the age of 10 she gave birth to a healthy little boy.  She named him Alexander.  Today Alexander turned 7 years old.  Both he and his mother live with me in Esther's House.  Alexander in many ways is a normal little boy.  He loves to play soccer, he often enters the house with a gecko in his pocket and he loves to play practical jokes.  What makes him exceptional is the calling God has already placed on his young life.  Alexander is gifted in the area of music.  He wants to be a worship leader.  Often times he will hold church services in the back yard.  He leads worship, and preaches to the other children. (sometimes the teens are required to attend as well)  In church before the service begins you will find Alexander on his knees at the altar praying.  He is such an example that most of the children in his Sunday School class follow him and get on their knees to pray as well.  Not only does Alex live in Esther's House but he is also in our child sponsorship program. The money that his sponsor family sends each month enables Alex to attend a local Christian music academy where he is being taught Guitar, piano, voice, Bible, and how to become an effective worship leader.  
Thanks to all of you who support us and make it possible for Alex to carry out the calling God has on his life.

Amen! It is so awesome to see a man on fire for the Lord. The fact that he is so young and already passionate about serving God is inspiring. Hopefully it is challenging to the grown men as well. We need a generation of men to rise up and be strong in their faith and character. I am thankful that Alex is one of them. He has a sweetness about him too that makes you wanna squeeze him. Cant wait to see him again!!
