A Night of Firsts

We have this 2nd grader in our program named David.

We love him. And he loves Forerunner.

Last week his mentor Drake and his wife Morgan had him over for a fun game night. It was a night of firsts: David's first time to have Chick-fil-A, drink a shake, and play Monopoly. Talk about memories and sugar highs.

I hope one day you'll get to meet David. 

He has this crazy smile. It's one of those smiles that can fill a room.
He has these quick-witted comebacks you'll never see coming.
He told me he likes to punch the air in the bathroom when he gets angry.
He has a mom who has raised him to be passionate, kind, and to never give up.
He has more potential than I could ever dream.

And that's why David has a mentor. A mentor who will be there to help him fulfill his potential. To see everything Jesus has made him for and to call him up into it. A mentor who will show up to love him with the love of Jesus, and live an example of manhood worth following. A mentor for the night of firsts.

That’s what mentoring is all about.

If you’d like to close out 2020 with an end of the year gift to Forerunner, you can help make more mentor relationships happen. You can give boys like David the gift of a mentor.

Happy 2020 and here’s to an incredible 2021 filled with more “night of firsts” with people you love.
