John Mika Sows a Seed of Servant-hood

Once upon a minute a man named John Mika had a dream or maybe it was a vision. However you refer to that special moment, it became a seed that is growing into reality. A Seed of Servanthood that is growing love through service in the City of Buffalo, New York. John Mika is creating Bright Spots of Hope.

No! John is not going to punch this young man! He is emphatically giving him a lesson on life because that's what John does best.

John envisioned a place where Teachers could go to get school supplies for under privileged and at risk children. John is the Executive Director at WNY Shares. They are sharing love through servant-hood all over Western New York. Many youth groups came to the warehouse on North Hampton Street to help paint and spruce up the building. This vacant warehouse space will become a haven for teachers seeking much needed school supplies for students. John's dream just doesn't help teachers and students in the future, he is helping young people now. His actions are helping young people right now. He asked for help and that gave young people the opportunity to engage in helping their neighbor.

John is planting seeds of servant-hood 

and watching hope grow into a Bright Spot.
