Purposeful Connections (formerly Coastlands Consultants) begins its 35th year this September, and I begin my 20th year with the ministry. Our vision is for youth to receive the adult support they want and need to thrive. As we start this year, it seems appropriate to share a powerful video that reminds all of us of the importance and impact of healthy intergenerational relationships in the lives of youth.
Why It's Worth Your Time
We all need some inspiration once in a while. Josh Shipp wrote, "Do for ONE KID what you wish you could do for ALL KIDS.” This story/video demonstrates what can happen when we live that out. These are ordinary men whose influence changed a teenage girl's life.
How To Use It
Grab the tissues.
Read the article and watch the video (which is embedded in the article). You can watch the video even if you don't have Instagram.
Consider which teens you know that could benefit from your influence - no matter what age you are. It doesn't have to be a "troubled kid" - the Christian-school-attending, youth-group-participating, son/daughter-of-the-pastor may need it just as much.
This school year, commit to doing for one kid what you wish you could do for all kids. Don't know where to start? Go to their soccer game, invite them out for pizza, or just ask them how you can pray for them!
