Roy and Becky Stephen are great (more than great actually) friends of ours – we come from very different places and experiences yet we connected with a strength and passion that only comes from a Divine connection. Their son, Joshua (and coincidentally we have a grandson called Joshua too!!) is embarking upon adulthood – having completed his high school diploma he is about to go off to the YWAM training school in Denver for a few months (including an awesome overseas assignment!!) before entering into college life.

Roy, Becky and Josh are trusting the Lord to provide for Josh’s college education – and for the direction and vocation that Josh will take in his life.  So I am sharing this, and Josh’s website, as an encouragement to ALL parents who are releasing and empowering their teenage children as they take these big steps to college/university/vocational training – whatever they are doing – leaving us parents behind to lean heavily on the Lord to look after them, to protect them, to provide for them and to connect them with Godly friends who will walk with them on their journey into adulthood.

If you feel led, please visit Josh’s blog and offer him some encouragement.
