The past two days have been crazy but good.
Fights broke out:
a little kid tried to whip a girl with a MOP that was like 2 meters taller than him
a boy spit in a girls face who then SMACKED him upside the head.
one of the kids tried to steal our N64 systems.
and another decided to run into a wall and cracked it.
BUT Gradually I can see the kids calming down, getting into the routine.
Getting to know them better might be able to train up a band, got some pretty talented youth PRAY for that.
Some of the other youth in the community want to go to the program but are scared of the other kids. Pray for that.
Amidst all of this God is working. I can feel the Spirit beside me, walking with me empowering me, convicting me. He LIVES inside of us. I think we don't take that fact seriously enough. I gotta stop thinking that I gotta do this or that, but just trust and be faithful in the moment God has called me in. The Spirit will work and is working according to His timing and will.
Its only been three days and things have gotten a lot better.
On another note a police officer came to educate us on the gang situation in the area. The Crypts are in the community where we walk our kids home and they're warring with another gang in Jamestown shooting back and forth. We were Just told to be careful.
Apparently some of the moms have a say in on what goes on in the gangs cuz the gang leaders come home to their moms LOL. its funny and sad.
Just Pray........ seriously.
