There is Life Here

Yesterday the team planted flowers and trees. The new plants are a picture of the work God is doing here. Surrounded by the despair of spiritual and physical brokeness God is planting His life in so many.

I met a girl this week who met Christ through the FH work in her neighborhood. The life in her is very apparent.

Life is emerging in the sewing academy. Sylvia is leading them, taking up where the team left off in March. She is realizing His plan and purpose for her life.

Last night, at the Dance Academy we saw life in young women who are learning Gods plan and purpose for their lives. This was in sharp contrast to the gang members in the audience. The emptiness in their eyes was unmistakeable.

FH is using the Dance Academy to reach out to the gangs in HCB. So many of the young people are drawn to gangs because their parents abandon them in different ways and for different reasons. The gangs offer a false sense of protection from this abandonment.

The youth heard the gospel last night, please pray that God will redeem them from their slavery.

The needs in HCB can seem over whelming, too many broken families, too many abondonded children, so much emptiness.

Yet.....God keeps showing examples of His work. What ever you are doing for HCB whether sponsoring a child, praying for the community or preparing to join a future team you can be sure God is using your effort to bring Life to many. (capitalized on purpose :) )
