Martin is a married father actively parenting two young children. By his consistent involvement in Men’s Coaching he has earned his coach’s respect and multiple “Level Up” certificates and gift cards. Recently while attending another class nearby, Martin met a man in need and heard his story. There were a couple gift cards from RETA in his wallet, and he offered them. During their conversation, the man called the number on the back to see how much was left to spend. Turns out, Martin had spent the value of the cards but accidentally kept them. Martin encouraged the man to wait there while he drove home, where he had the exact amount of cash the cards had been worth. He returned as promised and handed the cash to his new friend. Martin told him, “I have been blessed by going to RETA. Now I want to bless you when you have a need.” He shared about RETA and encouraged him to get in touch.

We praise the Lord for Martin’s willingness to be generous! God always blesses his people so we can pass along his generosity and then point to him as the source. Abraham became a blessing to many nations. Paul and others received comfort in order that they might provide comfort to others. Joseph went through some tough times, gained wisdom, and gave advice to a powerful ruler which resulted in the people of a huge geographical region having food to eat during a famine. What have you received? How have you shared it? Pray with me that God will continue to bless dads, their families, and our community through Men’s Coaching.
