We work with children. We try to help them with their education and their health. We realize that our help is almost nothing compared to the world's demand nowadays. Schools are proven to be more expensive than several years ago, and good medications are more difficult to get if we don't have much money. But, in the middle of crisis, we try to give a little light for needy children to live better.
Unfortunately, our intention doesn't always bear good results. There are children or parents who don't care with education or health. We remind them the benefit and importance of education, but they decided not to go to school anymore; they chose to work or live with their own way (unemployment-free life). We teach them the advantage of doing sports, living in green and clean environment, but they keep throwing trash anywhere, don't care about the cleanness of their body, their house, their area. Not only that. They even reject us and have bad thoughts about us.
Sometimes we are desperate; we've done a lot of things but we find dead end, people we minister choose to give up. We realize that it is our ministry and in ministering people we have to rely on God more than everything. It doesn't matter what response we will receive from the them, our job is not to give up. We will not give up in telling about hope and brighter future. We will not give up in speaking about what God has done in our lives. We will not give up in pronouncing about a better life in Him. We will not give up.
It is very difficult to change someone's way of thinking indeed, but God teaches us about heart of a minister, heart of God. He teaches us not to give up and to bring them in prayer. And you know what... something happens, several children are changed, and we can see the fruit of our trees of effort. We can do it because God enable us to do it. They can not be changed if it is not God who changes them. Our God is truly God of every divine ministry.
