One of the amazing things we experience at TruthMedia is hearing about changed lives.Over time, as conversation continues between a mentor and the mentoree, there is often an incredible journey that leads to life change.

Recently, a mentor received an email from a young man named Dave*. This is his story.

Dave: Hey. I’m 17 and I’m a senior in high school. I have a problem with just about every relationship I’m in. I’m adopted so pretty much my whole life I felt like I wasn’t even really a real part of my family.”

Mentor: “So you feel like a square peg in a world full of round holes.”

Dave: “Yeah man, that square peg and round hole thing is it. I feel like I don’t ever belong anywhere. When I was smaller until maybe I got into high school, my mom would always tell me I was found in a dumpster. If my parents didn’t want me when I was just a innocent baby. Who’d want me now?”

The mentor then shared some of his own journey and asked Dave if he might be interested in a faith adventure.

Dave: “Yeah for a faith adventure, I’m interested. I know where I am now isn’t where I wanna be. I’m down all the time, and I try to turn to God but I don’t know how. I can’t do it by myself, and I need help.”

Mentor: “The first step is having a personal relationship with God.”

Dave: “I’m taking the first step. I’m ready. yeah I prayed the prayer, and I opened my heart.”

This is only one of many stories we hear of people whose lives are transformed as a result of the time, care and prayer that has been invested in them by a caring mentor. If you or someone you know would be interested in becoming one of our mentors, please complete the online application.

Thank you so much for your part in this ministry where lives are being changed every single day.

Online Mentoring
Each month we receive many encouraging emails from all over the world from people who have come across our sites, and in turn have had their lives changed. Here are a few that have touched our hearts from around the globe.

i really trust u i want to ask some of questions which i have doubt please make me friend & answer it…(India).

I have been raised to beleive in Christ and that He died on the cross for our sins. But because I have sinned and because I don’t go to church I feel guilty and not worthy even though I beleive. I feel that even though I pray only when it is convenient for me or in times of sorrow that God will choose not to hear me. The Bible verse that always sticks in my mind is that everyone who cries Father Father will not enter into heaven. He will say He does not know them. How do I know if He still wants me as a child of God? (Canada).

My husband walked out and took the money with him. I haven’t worked outside the home in almost 15 years. I am having trouble finding a job. I have about $1000 left. I have 3 children and a dog. Please pray that I find a job, soon. Thank you (United States).

Hello I have said your rededicated pray for Jesus to dictate my life. But as it reminds me that these are words, very strong words and I need to act on my words not only have and believe but to do the works of God. Thank you (Australia).
