A Child Points the Way

Carlitos, an 8-year-old boy, had lost all hope of continuing to attend school when his father abandoned him. Economic problems forced his mother to take a job washing clothes and cooking while Carlitos took care of his two younger brothers.

One day the Jesus Film presented the children’s version of the film in Carlitos’ neighborhood and he decided to place his tiny life into the hands of Christ. The leaders of the film visited Carlitos in his home the following day and saw the conditions in which his family was living. Someone in the church provided a different job for the mother which helped the family greatly. Thanks to the compassionate ministries of the church, Carlitos has returned to his school and all of the family attends church. Once again God used the Jesus Film Ministry to bless a hungry and hurting family.
