Morning thought 1

 

Monday May 20th  2019

 

          Good morning! During the next five mornings I hope to share some of Mustard Seed Jersey’s encouraging success stories that demonstrate how a little bit of help can make a significant difference in other people’s lives. None of these successes happened overnight, they took time, involving weeks, months and sometimes years of work fuelled by care and prayer. Yes, we do believe in prayer and when we see a need we pray, asking for God’s help.

When we first met Nadia, it was at the beginning of the 21st century. She and her friends had just left the state orphanage but had nowhere to live. They were ill prepared for life, short of the resources and skills needed to survive.

Mustard Seed Jersey was able to provide the funding that enabled a small local Romanian trust to work with Nadia and her friends providing safe accommodation and loving help. Over a number of years, the young people learnt the basic skills required to survive, preparing them to be independent and self supporting, both materially and emotionally.

It has now been nearly 20 years since then. On Facebook several days each week I see photos of Nadia and her family. She is now married with two children and glows with happiness. She keeps us well-informed of her marriage and her two children.

When I read Nadia’s Facebook posts and see how well she is doing now, I thank God for the privilege of making Mustard Seed Jersey a link in a chain that lead to someone having a fresh opportunity and a secure future.
