A Bright Future for Brick Kiln & Street Children

Evangelist Patras Boota, I was born on June 3, 1993, into a brick kiln family. My father worked in brick kilns for more than 40 years. We lived a life of poverty and hardship, but we were rich in faith. My parents taught me about God, the Bible, and prayer, even when we had nothing else. My father always said, “God can do everything, and He makes all things possible for us when we ask Him in faith.” From childhood, I had a deep desire to study the Bible and serve God. I watched other children go to school every day while I worked in the kilns. One day, I went into my room, knelt before God, and cried, “Heavenly Father, why can I not get an education?” I made a promise to God that if He gave me an education, I would use it to serve Him and help children like me go from zero to hero.
