Starbucks with Jake

One of my coworkers had to move his whole family down here to Chile. He’s got a 15-year-old son named Jake.

I was a military kid growing up, so I know how rough it is to get uprooted and moved. And there really aren’t youth groups here for Jake to go to like I had when I was his age. So I offered to do a Bible study each week with Jake.

On Wednesdays we usually go to Starbucks, get Java Chip frappuccinos, and work through a youth Bible study book Jake has. Jake’s an awesome guy. He’s funny, and he’s got a hunger for God. Sometimes I’m amazed at his spiritual insight.

Plus it’s fun for both of us just to get into the city and hang out. Meeting with Jake each week has been one of my favorite things about living in Santiago.
