*Our hearts go out to the kids that we see. The conditions and poor parents and role models that they have set them up with a huge chance of failure. I have had kids that tear at my heart when I am ready to leave them and they say "do you have to go"? They are so precious but many are heading for the lifestyles of prostitutes, gang members, drug addicts, drug dealers, alcoholics, etc. It is so sad. We see kids like this every weekend with no supervision. They are prime targets for child traffickers and perverts.
One of our main goals in going out to these areas late at night is to get the parents thinking about what could happen to their kids. We have been with kids as young as 5 that are outside alone. I was with a seven year old for close to 45 minutes without ever seeing anyone that inquired about her. It was her birthday! (little girl in pink shirt at the left) We want to get with whoever is responsible for them and tell them that if we were traffickers or perverts we could have had their children. Many of the parents are just kids that have had kids and they need help too which we will attempt to give. Today you have grandparents that are hooked on heroin and crack! It's a mess!

When we arrived last night around midnight there was close to 30 kids out there. The good thing was that there were some parents out there too but most of the parents were absent. Jericho sat down on the sidewalk and immediately attracted many attention seeking little ones! We handed out sodas for everyone along with bubble gum, million dollar bills, cross pennies and other things. Everyone was having fun including us!
We really want to see this team grow because there are so many opportunities to minister into both children and adult lives. The harvest is ever so ripe but the laborers are so very few!
The kids just want to have attention and to have adults play around with them. Some of them created squirt guns out of the water bottles and they were having a blast!
We set up chairs and work with mainly adults after being with the kids. So many have came out to sit with us and ask for prayer for their messed up lives. We have directed many to true churches that will help them with their relationship with the Lord.
In this picture a lady was led to come back after passing us and she just broke down crying for the longest time before we were able to get anything out of her. Travis ministers to her and prayers for her. People are just so broken!
This lady is a regular. I have been ministering to her for a long time. She struggles severely with alcohol and drugs. We are not going to give up on her. We are believing that the Lord is going to get a hold of her!
This lady who is from Africa spent hours with us. Her mother is a Christian and tries to guide her right but sin rules her life right now. She so much wants to be a good mother to her cute little daughter. Her daughter was so tired out there. So many of the people keep their kids up so late!
I had these four in their late teens ministering into their lives. So many are on such destructive paths! They were very polite and thankful for taking the time with them.
 | I have many of them captured with a optical illusion card tract. I must have given out close to 50 sets of them last night. We really feel that this new ministry is going to touch many lives for Jesus! We operate it between 11 and 3:30 in the morning right now. If you are interested contact us! We need the right help. This is not for just anyone. |
