Many young girls have come through this base in the time I've been here. And each time their mothers have come to me and thanked me for investing into them and being a role model.
Mia is one of those little girls.
We built a house together along with her team. A simple act of kindness toward her earned her affections for the rest of the week. She walked around the work site calling me "Boss" and making all the other kids listen to me and get things done.
In a world where young girls and boys are being show by media what it is to be a man or a woman, it
is more crucial than ever that we as Christians are good role models and take time to invest into the younger ones around us. To show them they are important, to talk to them about God and his love for them. To walk the way that Christ walked and show them their value as a child of God.
Love looks like something. It isn't just words we speak, it is in actions we take. Most children in this world today have terrible family situations, and as they get older they will find another way to fill the void they have been left with. We are called to protect them, to nurture them, and to show them that God has a plan for their lives.
Thank you for partnering with me so that I can walk like Christ in the lives of these children.
