notice if they disappeared.

I don’t know about you, but it breaks my heart to think of

What can you do to make a difference?
- Consider mentoring a student
- Volunteer to work with students
at church, YMCA or other civic organizations - Be intentional to get to know
your friends children. Show them you care. - If you have a teenager, get to
know their friends. - Go to sporting events or plays
to support youth you know and to show you care. - Commit to pray daily for
students in local schools.
If it takes a village to raise a child, then surely it must
take a Kingdom to raise teenagers who love the Lord. Leave a comment to share
how you are making a difference in the life of a teen.
