New Match!

We’re celebrating another new match, which started just a few weeks ago in the heat of August!  Our new mentor’s name is Brandon, and he’s made a big jump this summer.  

He’s an Iowa native who sensed God’s call to move from the Twin Cities suburbs into the Phillips neighborhood and start out as a Life Coach, all within the past three months.  He now lives just blocks away from Hope Academy where his middle-school age mentee attends school.

Once again, it's impressive to see God bring together a mentor and a young man with so much in common!  Both Brandon and his mentee have surprisingly similar interests in sports and academic subjects.  Both also identify strongly with Christ.  Brandon recently wrote to me, "We are connecting really well... last Tuesday we played basketball together at Stewart park gym.... I'm really encouraged by how we connect already on a spiritual level."  Praise God for a good start!  Please join us in praying for God's work to deepen in Brandon and his new mentee.  His mentee has never met his own father.
