Summary: Years ago, my team and I were in Guatemala, sharing the Good News at a Festival. One of our counselors noticed a young boy who was standing all by himself. So she went over to talk with him. She asked him why he came to the festival. The boy told her, "My mom left my dad and me, and every night I hear my dad crying in the bedroom." "But," he said, "I'm here because I heard Mr. Palau was going to tell us how to have a happy home."Twelve years old, and already he'd gone through the pain of abandonment! Yet this boy also knew that a different life was possible. When he heard the message of the Good News Gospel that night, that boy gave his heart to Jesus Christ. Today, this man is married and a national leader. His life was changed because he had an opportunity to respond to the Good News. Do you know a young boy or girl who comes from a broken home? These children need all the love and direction we can give them. But most of all, they need to know that God wants to be their Father and be with them forever. Hebrews 13:5 says that God will "never leave us or forsake us." Ask God who, in your world, needs to hear this message. Then, take a step of faith, and invite them to enter the family of God!
