A BURGER OR A BITE?
A Burger or a Bite:
Enoch, is a 17 year old Liberian boy who is in our Communal Mentoring program. We have been working with Enoch a long time through his ups and downs in this culture. One of the great blessings of our ministry is the fact that as hard as the work is the reward is joyful. Enoch, had struggle with many cultural, educational and spiritual issues. But after a year of mentoring in our previous place and also constantly befriended with him the Lord is showing us a little bit pieces of the fruit of the seed we saw.
On our 2nd week of Mentoring Danny, (who has been part of the mentoring program since the beginning) went to pick up Enoch, for our Friday night communal mentoring. Beyond school Enoch, also works part time. On the way to our building Enoch, told Danny that he wanted to pick a burger because he is hungry. But he did not only eat the burger for himself but he also offered to Danny. Enoch’s offer did not end there. He came to our building and he offered all of us a bite from his burger. I just lived to see this moment. How beautiful joyful to see the change in Enoch’s life. Enoch’s change did not come suddenly. It is a result of few faithful servants of Christ. Thank you Jesus!
Enoch’s offer reminded me of two things
1. 2Cor.8:2
“Out of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity”
People who are poorer are more generous. How wonderfully true that is! Because people, who know poverty, are willing to fight poverty in every aspect.
2.Hebrew 6:10ff
“ God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure”
Since we started the mentoring program we have been through a lot of fire and water. But God did not forget the seed we put in the lives of these kids. He is already honoring us by showing us how beautifully he has been blessing our work.
We are inviting you to be part of this work of mentoring these kids and make a difference in their lives. It is only an hour and half a week at your convenience.
Love you all ,
