Since there is a need for father figures in your church, consider starting an "adopt-a-kid" or "adopt-a-grandparent" program. It can be emotionally intesive to be a father-surrogate, and it would probably wear you out to be adopted as a "father-figure" my too many kids. By spreading the load (and privilage of being the adoted father figure) around, you will help more kids. If your city has a Big Brothers/Big Sisters program, encourage the parents of those two kids to call and try to get matched, and encourage church members to apply to be Big Brothers and Big Sisters. I'm not in a position to comment on your coming out to your pastor, perhaps someone here who made that decision can comment. -d (david_tx on IRC, not a BL). |
