My son is eleven years old and attends and extremely multi-cultural Christian school. In fact, I think the white kids are probably the minority! They have a wonderful mix of kids from all different backgrounds. The Asian contingent is strong with kids from Thailand, Korea, Vietnam, China and Japan; a student from Latvia and one from Germany. We have a large number of Hispanic kids as well as African American kids and every kind of mixture in between. It is pretty cool actually!
Well, my son has a thing for Asian girls ( that is one way to get the Asian baby I always wanted! LOL just kidding!) so he hangs out with all of the Asian foreign exchange students. There is one in particular that he has a crush on. I believe her family is atheist. So my son spent the ENTIRE night texting her on facebook trying to share Jesus with her. When I was telling him goodnight (that is grown-up, "I don't want to embarrass my kids" code for tucking him in! LOL) I asked to see his phone. I want to know what he and this young lady had been talking about all night. I must admit I was shocked when I saw what my son had typed. Among other things, he told her that he liked her and wanted to go to Heaven. He shared with her some of the miracles that he has seen in his own life because of his relationship with the Lord.
I was blown away... especially because this is the kid who didn't even want to come to worship last night! LOL I love watching the way that God is working in my children's lives to touch nations already! God is sooooo GOOD!
