Speaking Up with Boldness

Danielle was unusually quiet this particular Tuesday morning at the Conflict Group. The rest of the girls were engaging quite well with our topic of Bullying. Most of them had participated in the role plays or shared an experience they had, but we had hardly heard a peep from Danielle. As we were wrapping up the group for the week and the girls were getting ready to head back to class, Danielle asks, “Can I say something”?...

Planted Seeds…

Melinda and her family lived with me for a while. Melinda, 13, was terrified her mom would be killed when she was drinking on Main St. She wanted to go look for her if she hadn’t come home by nightfall. The first time, I suggested we pray for her mom’s safety instead. I could tell Melinda didn’t know what to do with that. I suspect she’s never been inside a church before or prayed.

I Like the North End

So I’m standing there, looking around, and a man on a bike stops in front of me and asks for prayer. I knew the guy since he occasionally came on Sunday and lives in the general area. But more specifically, I knew him for what happened to him a few months before, for you see, his teenage child was tragically murdered and left for dead outside the city. This event was front page news in Winnipeg, and brought to light (again) the stronghold of crime in this town. Numerous headlines hit close to Bethlehem, many times too close for comfort. I hope I never get used to it though…
