The February stats are now available.

God continues to use this ministry in incredible ways. Two stories that really touched me this past month are from a stroke victim and a teenage girl.

Recently a man who had experienced a stroke and could not talk came into the chat room. His communication was limited to very slow typing.  The group prayed for him and ministered to him.   It amazes me that people from around the world can gather together and minister to a lonely person trapped within his own body.

This month we also heard about a teenager who called into a radio station that partners with us for online mentoring. She called to thank them for the mentor she was matched with months before. The TruthMedia mentor helped her radically transform her life over the last eight months.  When she first called into the radio station, she was partying hard, drinking and doing drugs. With the help of her mentor she came to know God, got involved in a church and turned her life around.

Please continue to pray for the ministry.  If you are interested in becoming a mentor or your seeing how your church can get involved, go to www.thementorcenter.com.

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:

Thank you for your kind words and prayer. Just having someone listen and understand helps quite a lot.  I’m sure I will contact you again. I was feeling down the other evening when I wrote the message and was very glad to have stumbled upon your website. It’s a very nice concept.  God bless you.

Prayer request to help me to get my life in order with the Lord. I want to give my whole hart to the Lord and I am down and need you to pray for me so that the Lord can change me to be a better person to other people. (South Africa)

Thank you for those comforting words. Although things are pretty much the same today, there have been a few break-through’s (if you will) lately. I will indeed re-focus and read the passages you have recommended. I can’t say thank you enough for this direction. I am learning to learn that there is no question I should consider a dumb question. The prayer that you sent gave me warmth within. I thank you for that. God bless you and each of the sisters and brothers who keep this site going. It has truly been a God-send. Please don’t be insulted if I say that the Main source is my foundation and this avenue is not to substitute. The Lord tells me that we are to seek council and not to feel defeated that we are not ‘getting’ Jesus’ message. I will persevere because He does. Amen

I’m asking for prayer for strength and support from God. In September 2008 my first child, a son, was stillborn at 36 weeks. This week I had a miscarriage with our second child at 10 weeks. I feel completely alone and lost and empty. My soul, my mind, my heart and my body are at rock bottom. I know that I need to pray for God’s will in my life but I just don’t understand why this has happened again. I just need prayer to help me accept God’s will and that he will show me what he needs from me. I want so badly to be a mom and have a family. (USA)
