A Church Pew Friendship

The August 2014 Banner includes a great article about an unlikely faith-nurturing friendship between an older gentleman and a teenager. Elizabeth Drummond shares her story of how Mr. de Zeeuw made her feel welcome, showed an interest in her life, and became a trusted friend along her faith journey. Is this a familiar story in your church? How can we inspire the members of our congregation to build cross generational friendships like this one?
