Baseball, cold weather, and Nikita. . . .

I came here to meet new people, and learn how to better help pray for what God wants to do in people 's lives. Jesus said " pray the Lord of the harvest, that He would send forth laborers ...". Now there's a prayer request, from the lord Himself. How are we doing on that commandment? I haven 't been able to do much traveling around, but I am meeting some new people.
One is Nikita. This one is about 9 years old. He can be as rowdy however, as the other one that some of you senior folks remember.
His answer to who is God was, " someone who lives on a cloud".
He lives mostly on the streets, doing what boys like to do, play. He doesn't eat regularly because of family conditions. But he did come to the Bible club last week and listened ( some) to Olga share about God's love for him.
It 's a good possibility that he will become involved with 'drinking' crowd early, because he is looking for something that can meet his most urgent need, attention. Olga can only hold him lovingly around the neck while she teaches the lesson for a short time.
Cold weather doesn't interfere with his desire to play. He will still do that; and with whoever will play with him.
Lord of the harvest, do you have anyone out there that would like to come and play baseball with Nikita?
