Showing Up

"Sometimes what's needed most in life is for someone to show up and just grab your hand."  David wrote these words to encourage people to mentor children.  University Baptist Church responded to David's invitation and became a Kid's Hope USA Church.  We are a church, in partnership with a school, in one community, sending one mentor to each child.

Students at MSU have been invited to "show up and grab a hand".  Hannah responded to our invitation to mentor.  Each mentor is paired with a prayer partner for the benefit of the child.  We are seeing Hannah know, worship and grow (KWaG) as a disciple of Jesus Christ.  One of the ways she's showing up is in outreach to the community.
A harvest party was planned to reach out to the children.  Hannah helped plan and set up snacks and games.  She also served on the team to kick off the school year with a backpack drive at Averill Elementary.  Families have seen her make a difference at church, on campus and in the community.

"Sometimes what's needed most in life is for someone to show up and just grab your hand." Hannah is one of many MSU students mentoring children.  Through the work of the Spirit we are seeing students of the world know, worship and grow (KWaG) as disciples of Jesus Christ.
