Meeting with Jim Jarvis
It was late one winter's evening and Thomas was about to shut up his school for the night. He noticed a boy warming himself by the stove in the corner of the shed and told him it was time to go home. Jim Jarvis answered that he had no home or parents and slept rough each night. Thomas was amazed when Jim led him to a passageway nearby and up a high wall at the end to discover eleven poorly dressed boys asleep on a roof. Barnardo realized that there were many thousands of homeless boys like these living on the streets of London's East End and he prayed that God would provide care for these children. The answer to his prayer was to change Barnardo's plans for the future! |
