Mickey Rooney in the movie, "Father Flannigans Boys Town", a true story about a Priest a man that cared enough about others to set his life not on hold but under the direction of God and by faith followed a vision and with the help of a few good men in his community made a differance for young men to this very day.

Father Flannigan was once asked by a member of his community why he's with these people and not with upstanding decent folks . And yet to this very day the hope still continues for men and women every where.

He was told over and over again that he was crazy for what he was doing and who he was trying to help. And yet today his work was not in vain.

One of Father Flannigan's favorite saying was "It's worth a shot" and by the grace of God it has blessed families all across the USA.

Father Flannigan built Boy's Town with purpose and High Ideals

1. Matthew 9:10
   While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples.
2. [ Jesus Calls Levi and Eats With Sinners ] Once again Jesus went out beside the lake. A large crowd came to him, and he began to teach them.
   
   
3. 1 Timothy 1:15
4. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.

Who does Jesus call us imitate, who has he called us to serve, who has he called us to share the hope that He died to give us.

PRAYER FOR COURAGE

Almighty God, who gives strength to the weak and upholds those who might fall, give us courage to do what is right, for those that trust in you there is no need to fear.

Make us brave to face any danger which may now threaten us.

Give us the help that you have promised to those who ask it, that we may overcome our fears and go bravely forward.

Fill us with courage, that nothing which is our duty to do, may it not be too hard for us. Let us put our trust in your power and goodness.

Thank you Lord.
