Mentors matter

Mentors are a special part of the addiction recovery programs at Water Street Mission. Serving as a sounding board and friend, mentors help clients walk through and live out what God’s teaching them. Ultimately, mentors are established as a healthy relationship for a client’s transition back into society.

Here are some comments that Lee, a mentor, recently shared about Don, his mentee.

“Don has made great progress and looks forward to the completion of his GED. You folks at [Water Street Ministries] have poured new life into him – and he is really grateful to you! Perhaps I just came on for the time to assist what you at the Mission have been doing!

It was interesting to me that Don said that he was concerned about me. I think that that is really a great focus change for him – when he starts being interested in other people and their difficulties. We can praise God for grace abundantly showered and provided for Don.”
