As we serve those around us, we have so many opportunities to 'CHECK IN' with the mental health of others as well as ourselves.
Here's a recent testimony from one of our coaches in Bath, UK:
"At an after school club, all the other children were excitedly warming up during our ‘free play’ time, but one boy was sat alone. When I asked him why, he stated that he felt unwell; I enquired if that was all and he replied that he had a worrying dream the night before.
This same boy struggled with terrible anxiety last year, affecting his attendance. I offered to pray for his sickness and that God would remove the memory of and the feelings from the dream, to which he replied 'yes please'.
He soon jumped up, back to life and back into the session with energy and joy - playing brilliantly too!"
Jesus is so good!
