Dear Friends,
Thank you once again for all your loyal and faithful support over the weeks, months and for some even the years.
Be blessed as you read how God has worked through the Alpha course in that little shower room in Medium B and know that you had an integral part to play.
Working with guys involved in gangsterism has its highs and its lows and its joys and its challenges. It is inspiring to see the change in these men once they have been touched by God , and I mean SEE! However, the downside is hearing that one of them has been shot and killed within weeks of being released. I heard today that Averon, a young man in his 20’s with whom I had developed a special relationship, was buried on Tuesday after being out for just two weeks. He was walking with his girlfriend in Ocean View when he was shot in a gang related incident.
This scenario is a possibility for many of the guys who have been involved in gang related activities. Please pray earnestly for their safety and for the strength that comes from above to empower them to stand firm in their new found faith and to sustain the changes that they have started implementing in their lives.
We are now approaching our 4th week in our fifth course in Medium B this year and are about to start our first Alpha course with the juveniles in Medium A next Friday.
May the Lord continue to bless you in all that you do.
Warmest regards,
Jen
