To alleviate stress and worry - and point people to mental health help. \\u201cSomething bothering you? Talk about it. Warme William listens.\\u201d But he doesn\\u2019t. Cute, but mute.\\n\\nBut there are two real people ready to listen, empathize, and offer a troubled person life-changing hope and prayer. Don and Pam Lynch are Americans, IMB missionaries in Ghent, Belgium. They have rigged up an electric bike to become a coffee cart.
