God's Hands 4 Kids has been asked to coordinate finding mentors who will show friendship to foster teens. There currently is a need for a mentor/friend for a teen boy who is in a residential home on the east side of the state. He has no family and no contact with anyone in the community. Building a supportive caring relationship with a mentor is needed. This would be done virtually or through texting or by phone. Not looking for a lot of time commitment. More information available to those interested.

What could you sacrifice that was $35? Skipping one or two dinners out? Not buying that pair of jeans or a pair of shoes this month? We are going to Zambia at the end of May and would like to take Believe the Promise t-shirts to a club of about 100 kids there. Write in your offering envelope "HOH Pathfinder Project—Zambia". Very Important!!! We have to turn in the order by April 30th to get them in time so email me how many you are sponsoring, trecartin@andrews.edu. Thank you.
