Sunday morning, I was sharing at the Light House. They are an incredible group. They have been such a great blessing to us and the work that we do in Kyrgyzstan. I finished with the sorry of our young friend Slavic...
When I was done, a young man cam up to the mike and asked that we pray now for Slavic, but first he wanted to say something.. He said that when I shared the story, he started repeting his name , and in his mind was calling him what he would is he was a friend and was calling him Slavy... and then realized how close that was to Slave... so he asked that before we pray, we start by choosing a new name for him.. and that from this point on he was going to name him Freedom....
We were so amazed at this... this is not a Canadian tradition, but it is a Kyrgyz tradition to Give people different names.. We thought of Talant and how he is always giving special Kyrgyz names ... with meanings to people.. So I had Bekah make a few calls, and found that the Kyrgyz name for Freedom is Aerkin or affectionately would be AerkinBeck....
Please join us in continued prayer for Aerkin as we take the first big step towards his Freedom...
