Wil said he and Jean can step into a parental role. “Some people have never had a mom or dad to love them unconditionally. They need somebody to love them. We are able to do that, even if it’s just for a brief period of time.”
“A lot of them are bearing so many burdens,” Jean said. “By sharing the good news, we can encourage them, and the Holy Spirit lifts their spirits.”
