You know that our Lord Jesus Christ was kind enough to give up all his riches and become poor, so that you could become rich. 2 Corinthians 8:9 CEV
“I left the comfort of My heavenly home to be born in a dirty stable. I gave up all of My heavenly riches and became poor so that you could become rich. When you trust Me as your Savior, I give you the best riches of all–better than all the gold in the world! I give you life that will go on forever and ever.”
Sarah Young shares the perspective of our Lord Jesus Christ toward each of us in Jesus Calling: Bible Storybook (Nashville: Tommy Nelson, 2012) 151.

Over 1,000 out of about 6,000 children that live in the shantytowns have found hope in God and are in Bible club discipleship groups. It’s exciting! Just like in the days of the early church, revival is spreading rapidly among the 11,000 Treasures.
