When staff dropped off a mentee’s Christmas gift this week, it turned into a goosebump-worthy moment. In the quiet of her church parking lot, the mentee shared how deeply her mentor has changed her life. After the mentee was baptized last month, her mentor made the heartfelt decision to step away from her own church’s Bible study so she could attend church with her mentee every Sunday.
That consistency and care have sparked something profound. The mentee shared that she feels her mentor must have been “sent by a guardian angel.” Since her baptism, she is making better choices, and is choosing to focus on her faith and her own healing rather than unhealthy relationships. She’s even looking for ways to volunteer and get more connected at church.
The mentee shared that without her mentor, she believes she would be in a “very, very dark place.” Instead, she’s discovering hope, purpose, and a relationship with God that’s reshaping her life. One mentor’s steady presence is making all the difference.
