Jessica’s First Prayer; and Jessica’s Mother

Jessica, shivering and hungry, finds an unlikely friend in “Mr. Daniel,” a coffee-peddler. Her simple faith in God when she heard about Him, demonstrated in her very first prayer, touches the hearts and lives of those around her. In Jessica’s Mother, the woman who had given birth to Jessica, and abandoned her to pursue a life of depravity and drunkenness, returns. These two stories beautifully demonstrate the power of a child-like faith in Christ.
