| Deshownna in 2004 |
Deshownna is 13 years old and an 8th grader. This summer, she was asked to join our Teen Leadership group because of this type of example she is. She's been involved with Urban Family Ministries since Kindergarten. Read in Deshownna's own words what she learned and how she was tested on Saturday night.
What I
learned this week at Super Saturday was honesty. Mr. Alf put me and some other teenagers in a
skit about honesty. [There were 3 groups of us pretending to be in
conversation. He walked by and dropped some money in front of each group.] Only
1 group of kids was honest enough to give his money back.
Later on
that Saturday, I think I got tested a little because Ms. Heidi dropped a 20
dollar bill [and I saw it lying on the floor.] Now, it was very tempting [to
pocket the money], but I decided to do the right thing and turn the money in to
Mr. Alf.

That same
night I found a pair of glasses and
gave them to Mr. Alf as well. It’s funny
how we JUST got done talking about honesty, and doing a skit specifically about
returning money someone’s dropped and there just HAPPENED to be a 20 dollar
bill right in front of me!

Praise God with us as we rejoice in this type of growth and for the willingness to share.
