A Moment Can Change Everything...So Wait For It

Hope is easy to share. At least that's what Karen, a retired but still energetic administrator in Iowa discovered.

She said yes to volunteer as a mentor based on two facts: first, she had time to spend an hour every week at a local elementary school, and second, that school needed more mentors than they had the year before. Apparently, there's no shortage of students who need positive adult relationships. Clearly, this woman is well-informed.

So following the application, interview process, and training, Karen received a call from the program director that a little girl at school needed a mentor. She could start right away.

This second-grade student came to school each day wearing a downcast face and refusing to acknowledge people. Even when addressed up close and personally, she offered no response. In fact, she developed deftness at avoiding all eye contact. Instead, she feigned interest in the floor, the wall, a window.

Yet, when give the chance and a calorie of forward motion, compassion knows how to outmaneuver complexity. I had to take a trip to Haiti to figure this out.

It's already Friday. We finished our two main projects - the school addition and health care clinic. One will be a place of learning for years to come, the other will be a place for healing. Our work will serve Haitians for decades! And the work God has done in and on each of our hearts will last a lifetime. From Haiti, each of us feels deep gratitude for all who prayed and sponsored us. You helped make the learning, the healing and the heart changes happen - well done!
