God and an 8-year-old Welsh boy

“It was a summer of seed planting. It wasn’t what we had expected to happen this summer. Our team had prayed that revival would come to Wales, and we would see lots of people come to a personal relationship with Christ. But no one that we knew of accepted Christ as their Savior.

It was our last day in the city where we had already spent seven weeks. We had contented ourselves that God would have to be the One to bring in the harvest. We had planted. The day before, a boy at a Bible Club had given me a letter that he told me not to open until we left. I opened the letter that morning and read it. He thanked us for coming and told us what good friends we had been to him. Then he asked a question, “What do I have to do to become a Christian like you?” I was so surprised. I quickly found a sheet of paper and shared my testimony as well as the plan of salvation. I put the letter in the mail. God truly rewarded our whole team through him. We may never know until we get to heaven what effect we had on Carmarthen, Wales. We trust in the Father that we planted in the hearts of people the same question this 8-year-old boy asked.”
