Thank you to our loyal and committed Kids Hope Team who have been mentoring at the Ballarat Specialist School for many years now and their pray partners for their behind the scenes prayers and encouragement. Mentors: Rebecca Unmack, Kay Sutherland, Miriam Gibson, Melissa O’Hara and Sandra Holloway Prayer Partners Val Gallagher, Nadia Drake, Kate Leathlean, Jean Cassidy, Jon Holloway and Glenda Nuridin I would also like to thank Kim Yearwood, Assistant Principal of Ballarat Specialist School for coming and talking today and supporting this program through the school. John Burt our Principal is an apology as he is away on mayoral duties I am so proud of my mentors, who make such a difference to the lives of young students at the Ballarat Specialist School, and their Prayer Partners for their prayers too. One of my mentors said he was walking his student back to his classroom after his mentoring time together and the student said “I love you. Do you love me?” He replied, “Yes, I do!” I have had many teachers asking for a mentor in their classroom for a student needing a special person in their lives, so please contact me as you will be really making a difference. If anyone would like to become a regular mentor please contact Church Office (5334 1882). Thanks, Janet Jones, Kids Hope Coordinator.
