The kids came back, and they came back with a passion and a zeal. And I want to say insight. They began to think of ideas with the Revolution album. They began to think of a school, they began, they began, they began.
I think sometimes God just has to let us kick-start in the place we’re going to go, and then suddenly when we ourselves kick-started, all of the sudden ideas and concepts and thoughts and provision starts literally—it’s just like Amber and Jordan said, Amber threw out the idea. And like Jordan said, “Yeah, that’s an idea.” But instantly the spirit of faith hit her, “Wait a minute. That’s not an idea. We can do this.”
And these are kids in their early twenties. These girls are gradating this year from ORU. They finished their coursework early, typical of Amber and Jordan and Haley and these babies. And they got done early and they didn’t get to walk across the platform. She’ll get to walk in May. And they were finished, Amber I think almost a year early, Jordan a semester early.
And these are kids. These are kids, barely in the beginning of their twenties. And yet they’re building schools and visions and things. And they believe it’s doable. It’s not like, “Okay, in 20 years, we’re going—-well, if God.” No, God is now. God’s sending them. The need is now.
And so I want to encourage you of that, you know, if God lays it on your heart—I don’t even think Jordan thought about it. I don’t think you even thought—a negative thought never crossed your mind. First is the idea, and then, “We can do this thing.”
And I think God’s looking for that. If people will just hear the idea and say, “Yes, Lord, we can do this thing,” that’s faith. And then I believe as God dropped that and you have faith for it, what He orders He pays for. And we’ve seen the provisions just start rolling in.

We’ve had a desire for years since arriving in Niger to do a school and just didn’t know how that was going to happen, but it was, again, one of those seeds that was in there. And God connected us with another organization that was looking to build schools in Niger.

They built our first building—

And that’s how our first school got built, our first three classroom block, and we’re now finishing our second year and now needing to build a second three classroom block so we can add another class this year.
