Greetings, TYM Family! In the video above, I was reminded of the goodness of the relationship between Paul & Timothy on display in 1st Timothy. God has blessed me with MANY Pauls in my lifetime, from my youth to today. And God has entrusted me with several Timothys, currently shepherding staff and volunteers as they engage in youth ministry.

Who have been the Pauls in your lifetime? And who have been the Timothys?

Please pray with us for the kids who are in our THRIVE-4-Kids program meeting after school three days per week in Richmond at Monterey Pines apartment complex in Richmond. We praise God for the privilege of being a presence of His love in their lives. We just wrapped up week two of twelve in our Spring season. Below is a simple prayer to get you started.

"Heavenly Father, we praise you for the opportunity to sow seeds of love and truth into the THRIVE kids this season. Help the team of staff and volunteers be reminded that we are the clay and you are the potter. Lead us, guide us, and mold us so that we will be the light on the lampstand that shines brightly for you. We pray that the hearts of the kids are like the good soil in the parable of the soils, where they receive the gospel and it flourishes in their hearts and lives. Amen."
