Mentoring relationships


First I need to say I love our staff and their commitment to ministry and their joy in serving. Drew and Ashley are such a blessing to me and more importantly to the Lord.
Today we took a trip to a near by trailer park where we met Jenna and Garrett. They are awesome kids in need of some more positive people in their lives. They love the things most kids love, art, games, video games, sports and animals. Unfortunately because of their families financial challenges they have not been able to participate in things that others take for granted.
Ashley connected with Jenna right away as Jenna showed her art skills by drawing a horse for Ashley and then they got to play some DS games against each other. At the same time Drew was outside teaching little Garrett how to play ball. It was so wonderful to seethe simplicity of loving His children.
The dad was so impressed and I asked him if he would allow us to be involved in mentoring his children and his answer was a resounding yes. We now have two kids and one teen involved in our mentoring ministry.
If you would like to contribute in anyway to this ministry, we would love your involvement. We would love to involve you in three ways, your involvement, your prayers and your finances. The reality is we need volunteers, we need God’s leading and we need financial resources. 
Please consider getting involved. “To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world”
