"I am on a soccer team now"

Thanks so much for all who responded to help out the family in need. They were so blessed when we showed up with the things that you provided. In fact I think the word I would use to describe how they felt was overwhelmed. Tears came to their eyes as they realized how much people cared. I was sure to let them know ultimately God cares.

The little girl was at home when we stopped by to drop off things and right away she said "mommy I am so hungry". They were able to put a smile on her face by saying that they now had food. I asked her if she liked to play soccer and she said that she did but she didn't have any shoes to wear. I told her I would find some sneakers for her to wear and asked her if she would like to come to a soccer camp we are doing the last week of June. She said "YES".

As we were leaving the home the little girl looked at her mom and dad and said "I am on a soccer team now." That brought a smile to my face. She is also very excited about having a big friend that can hang out with her every week. I am trusting God that He will provide the right person for Chantal.

After we left their home we had an opportunity to go and meet with another struggling young family. This family has a seven year old girl and a five year old boy. They are really having a hard time in this family too. Stay tuned we will have a list put together for their needs as well.

I feel like early family intervention is a crucial part of the Boaz ministry. I try to imagine what a mentor could make in the lives of these children. By spending time each week with these children, it could literally change the course of their lives. Lets invest now and not wait until it is too late. Today is the day to make a difference.

If you know of others who might be interested in this blog, share it with them. If you know people that might want to support this ministry that would be awesome. They can do that with their prayers, their money, their time and their possessions.
