This is J-J. Pastor Ron and his wife Linda (founders of Oasis Ministries) take in children to give them home and feed them. They do not adopt, because the process is very corrupt. Instead, they take the children in and give them guidelines that they must live by. As long as they live by these guidelines, they have a safe home filled with compassion. J-J is Ron and Linda's "grandson" - the son of one of the teenage girls that live with them.
Everyone needs a role model; especially little kids.
I bet you can still remember that person from when you were little.
You wanted to be like that person didn't you?
You wanted their clothes, their accent, their standing with others...
For some, that person was an actor, or artist, and others looked to their older sibling, or a wise relative or friend of the family.
Some regret looking up to that person, and others are still following to this day.
J.J. here has the awesome advantage of a role model who cares about others rather than themselves.
Is there any other reason why people would sacrifice their life and resources to care for people that are unrelated?
And i bet there's someone looking up to you right now...
You may not even know it...
So,
Are you the role model that people will regret looking up to later on in life, or are you the person that cares about others, before he thinks of himself?
The choice is yours.
