By The Hand was the first place Anias learned about Jesus.
He says, “The most important thing I’ll take from here is that Heaven is a free gift for me, if I just believe in what Jesus did for me on the cross.” Anias reflects, “That makes me want to do good in this world.” This amazing seventh grader from Cabrini Green was able to connect to this truth because of Mr. Josh. Anias explains, “Mr. Josh makes learning about Jesus and the Bible fun.” But that’s not all: “Mr. Josh is patient and chill. He commands respect, but he doesn’t demand it. He doesn’t yell at us. He’s calm.” Mr. Josh leads by example, always pointing students back to abundant life. It is an example Anias is eager to follow.
Our students have the power to impact Chicago’s greatest needs. You have the power to show these young men and women abundant life—mind, body and soul.
