PRAYER REQUEST!!!!

I just wanted to put out to you all a VERY important prayer request to me!!! I'm askin you all to please be prayin for my African people!!! I really feel like God is about to do some GREAT things with them!!! As most of you know, the girl Esther that used to live with me pretty much has not been coming to church the last several years...a little bit every once in a while, and one by one the other teens had dropped out till its been pretty much just this one 7-year-old girl Leina, (leina is the lil girl that was gonna live with me but then its a long story but yeah its just the weekends now!) who lives with me on the weekends and her lil sis and like one other lil boy.
.
 And like its been pretty sad but, I've just ALWAYS known that God called me to these people and i've never given up and me Esther have have always kept up a good relationship NO MATTER WHAT!!! But sometimes you know that you can't keep beggin a person to come to church, all you can really do is step back and pray for them!!!
 .
So like two weeks or so ago my older brother preached a message about faith and then my pastor got up and told us all to think of ONE thing that God could do for us that would build our faith in him and then tell God. So I just told God, ESTHER back in church would REALLLY build my faith and I honestly haven't really thought about it all that much! Well, last Friday my sis and I went over there to see what was goin on with everyone cuz I hadn't been over there in several weeks bein busy with stuff so we went over there and we were hangin out with Esther and she just starts tellin me that this past Wednesday they were ALL lookin for me, tryin to find my number...but NO ONE in like the whole entire complex had my number anymore but they had all really wanted to come to church.
 .
Sooooo I was like OH WOW!!! On the inside i was like SCREAMIN!!! Then she tells me, yeah me and Martina, thats another teen girl that Esther is BF's with, they had been talkin and they decided that they were gonna start going back to church. I was like, YOU ARE??? She is like yeah!!! We're not doing good like this and we need to get back in church again!!! I'm like OMW!!! Sweeeeeeeeeeeet!!! And aparently ALL these kids have been talkin about it cuz they all tellin me they were lookin for me and they are coming to church tomorrow night!!! And Esther said again tonight that she is goin to start going to church with me on Wednesday and Sunday nights!!!
 .
And my sis and I were over there chillin with her again tonight and we were takin her to get somethin to eat and one of the older teen guys, Mustafa, saw us and he was like, OH Mary! I'm goin to church tomorrow night!!1 Then he sees Esther in the van with us and he is like, Oh Esther are YOU going tomorrow night?!? And she just looks at him with sooooo much attitude and is like, "DUH!!!" LOLOL!!! My sis is all like, YEAH, I mean she hasn't been to church in two years but DUH, why wouldn't she be there tomorrow night??? HAHAHA!!!
 .
OH and one more thing!!! i brought Esther, our youth pastor's testimony and she was readin it and I could tell that she was pretty wowed about it!!! I hope that it really reaches to her and helps her to see that God can totally and completely turn her life around too!!!! You all don't even know JUST HOW HAPPY it would make me if Esther got back in church...Just PRAY EVERYONE!!! PLEASE PRAY!!! Remember the African refugee people in your prayers!!! Here are a few specific names...
Esther, Martina, Mustafa, May, Leina, Sarah, Mammoud
