I really do not know what Favour must have done with Tina for three months straight. They became best of friends. Tina became a new person, she radiated God’s glory. Though we lived in the same house and attended devotions together everyday, we hardly spoke except general greetings.
I also took that time to grow In the Lord more. I had come to realize God was more interested in me having a personal relationship with HIM than drawing men unto HIM.
I wasn’t having the best of health but I was surviving. I welcomed each new day with gratitude.
“ I want to start a campaign on “No sex before marriage” Tina had said during one morning devotion when Favour had asked if there was anyone who had a prayer request…
There was silence in the room, so Tina continued….
“ One of the strategies of the SCA is to send teachers into schools so as to infiltrate the system, I have decided to use their strategy against them. I will write schools to render free Counselling services to their students, that way I will be able to reach out to them… A little drops make an ocean… if I can reach one child ,she will Inturn affect others and the circle goes on.., like what happens with the Sexculator..” Tina said looking towards me
I nodded in response as I understood what she was aiming for…
“ I will join you, male students will be more comfortable with a male counselor..” I said but I didn’t want to look towards Favour for fear of her disapproval, but a quick glance showed the contrary. She was smiling…
“ So let us pray for this vision and the vessels God wants to use…” Favour said smiling
We were prayed for, and only looking at Tina, I knew the SCA was in for unexpected trouble…
For the next five days, we searched the Internet for the list of secondary schools in our vicinity and we listed 108 schools. We sent emails to each of them using LIGHTHOUSE as our front, we asked for permission to give our Counselling services for free and thankfully about 88 schools responded positively…
It turned out like a dream, we tagged it “Please Listen to Me”.
We went round schools and devoted 3 days for each of the schools. The students who needed Counselling would have registered ahead, and for five minutes each, we listened and gave advice. Before the Counselling session, we however would have had a general lecture on the assembly ground, telling them about our stories and that was like a key into their hearts…
Tina and I heard a lot of heart wrenching stories, of fathers sleeping with their daughters, uncles sleeping with their nieces, househelps raping boys, homosexuality introduced by elder cousins, e.t.c
We heard a lot and with our little spiritual understanding we counseled and prayed with them.
However, after about 3 months into the program, I was not satisfied , I felt something wasn’t right. We were just going round and depositing the seeds into these children, but not watering it.
I had the inclination there was more to do, so as to have that lasting impact in the lives of the teenagers…
SCA always camped its agents before launching them out, that was the time of orientation and infusing into them what they wanted them to become….
I had a feeling I needed to do something like that…
Camping teenagers for months and imputing in them the Word Of God before releasing them….
I had the idea, but I didn’t know how to go about it realistically, until…
To be continued
