Hannah: Blessed to be a Blessing

Posted by Erin Jackson in Testimonials

God has blessed me with the opportunity to spend an hour a week with my precious mentee, Oralia. Over the last 3 weeks we have been getting to know each other and have had an absolute blast!

In my mind, I was picturing sitting down with a little fifth grader that would just talk to me for an hour about their problems and expect me to fix them. I could see them getting a bit emotional and me being there to comfort them and tell them everything would be alright.

ABOUT

Just One Starfish recruits and trains high school students from all Christian denominations to become mentors. The purpose of Just One Starfish is mission – we are about showing God’s love to at-risk students in our community through mentoring and encouraging.

Our Ministry

Just One Starfish is a strategic ministry extension of Christian Endeavor International, working together to prove that young people are created by God for significance and service and called for mission and ministry today. All financial contributions to Just One Starfish are tax-deductible.

For Youth Workers

Just One Starfish pairs high school age Christian youth with at-risk upper elementary school students for one-on-one mentoring. Learn how you can empower your students to do relational ministry and make a positive impact on your community.

Parents and Teachers

Just One Starfish mentors apply and are recommended by their church youth ministry leaders as positive, encouraging role models. Both schools and younger "mentees" alike will benefit when mentors invest their time and compassion in one-on-one mentoring. Together, we can make a difference one life at a time.
