Titus has been part of our lives for the last 10 years, although he was away at Grove City College for a few of those years. He’s been a highly committed member of our team of leaders in our middle school ministry for several years now. Titus has been a solid small group leader, and the Games Meister for middle school! He graduated with a teaching degree and is supremely gifted when it comes to connecting with children–that’s his passion. He’s been struggling to find a job since his graduation.
That changed today. And God showed his favor in the process.
Titus had an interview scheduled in Baltimore for today at 2 pm. He asked us to pray that God would be crystal clear. When he walked into the principal’s office, the guy told him that the position was already filled. I would have been floored…Titus shook it off, saying that God couldn’t have been clearer! He made a couple of phone calls to connect with the lady who set up the interview, asking if there was anyone else he could talk to in Baltimore. She sent him on a cold call to another school in the city. Within 10 minutes, the principal said, “I think I’m going to like you. Do you want to be my first grade teacher?”
He starts tomorrow morning at 9 with a curriculum meeting!
Titus’s dad is our bass player. He relayed the story to me tonight at rehearsal, and I lost it! God answered our prayers in a strange and wonderful way…
Now all he has to do is pack his stuff, move to Baltimore tomorrow, find a place to live, and make some students lives better!
We’re going to miss you Titus! Thanks for all you’ve meant to us. Our lives are better because of you!
