I Feel Sad

When Guest groups are on site the Joy El phones are routed to the staff member that is the "host" for the weekend.  Two weeks ago the weekend host receives a phone call from a young man who was looking for someone to talk with. He had received a certificate from Joy El Released Time Bible Program commemorating the day that he began a relationship with Christ, and on the bottom is the phone number for Joy El. he called because his mother had passed away recently and he was feeling sad. Nate the weekend host spoke to the young man and prayed with him over the phone. The contact information was shared with Lisa the Equipping Coordinator for the York area near where the boy resided. Lisa reached out to him and made arrangements for his listener to contact him as well. This hurting young man was supported by several caring adults within the Joy El ministry team and will be continued to be mentored with godly wisdom from scripture. Alarming statistics reported by CNN and CBS last fall indicate that childhood suicide is on the rise. Please pray for our children that need to hear the hope of Jesus in this world. Pray that we will continue to reach them through Joy El Released Time Bible Program.
