Learning to read and pray

Learning to read and pray
The team first met Olamilekun, a boy who quietly said, “I don’t want to meet my father again.” Rejected by his father before birth, he had grown up with a heart full of hurt. The team discovered he was in JSS1 but didn’t know his letter sounds. They reached out to his mother and began teaching him to read, starting with the basics.

To their amazement, this teenager, who had spent years in classrooms, was learning for the very first time. Their reading sessions became God-moments, and they used the time to teach him to pray. By the fourth meeting, he could pronounce simple words, pray independently, and had even started attending church. The boy who once felt abandoned was now discovering the One Father who never leaves.
