We met an 18-year old homeless young man tonight on NightWatch. We found him emergency shelter for the weekend. And we told him about Joseph’s House (Greensboro) and I Am Now (High Point), the local transitional living programs for homeless young men. We’re praying that one of them will have an opening for him.
Steve read him some of the Joseph’s House literature, but when he got to this line — “There are more than 164 homeless high school students in Guilford County…” — the young man’s jaw dropped and he said:
“What? Where are they? I thought I was the only one. And I thought nobody cared.”
He was wrong. Bitter. Sweet.
God bless them every one…
