Over the years Novo Ministries has seen God work in many wonderful ways. Each day is an opportunity for our staff and volunteers to go out into the inner city of Oklahoma City and share about the love of Christ. Sometimes days and weeks will go by and our staff and volunteers will not see any fruit of our hard labor, but there are times in which God has opened the eyes of one of the children that we serve and they begin to share. Recently our Education Department Director, Tara McLain, witnessed one of these exciting moments

"I've worked at the same club site for 4 years, during which I've seen a lot of kids come and go. One older girl named "Freadom" has been attending for about 3 years. She is "too old" for club, but she still comes because of the relationship that has been built. She is usually quite and reserved at club, so I began to pray for her and for our relationship to become stronger. Two weeks ago, she came to club and led the group in conversation, shared all kinds of information about herself and her personality, and talked openly about the things she had heard and learned about God and Jesus. She asked if she could work at Novo's day camp as a helper. It's amazing how much time it can take before young ones will open up and begin to share what God is doing in their lives. It was so exciting to see how God had softened her heart and how she had stored up so much knowledge over the last 3 years. Pray that she will understand truth and that her heart will be open to truly knowing her Creator."

Thank you so much for praying for the children that Novo serves and for our staff and volunteers, God is doing an incredible work!
