8 kids?! Game on!
We've had quite an eventful month here... to say the least. Sometimes in life a lot of events just seem to happen all at once.
We've had to navigate grief as not only did Angela's cousin pass from cancer but we also lost a close friend from a car accident. She was only 30. We sent Angela up to be with their family for a few days.
We've also had so much opportunity to stand in the gap here in the neighborhood. Currently we are caring for 4 children who attend our neighborhood church and Youth Street program as their family is in the midst of a lot of upheaval. Managing 8 children with homework, meals and emotional needs has been challenging but we have been covered by peace in this time. We are continuing to find that many families and children are in incredibly vulnerable situations, so all of us who are committed to loving those in this neighborhood are on a learning journey as we minister and hear the Lord on how to do that well.
DTS starts in 5 days!
Students are shifting over and we currently have 7 (out of 10) of our DTS students moved into our housing. We are very busy preparing for the DTS with painting, cleaning carpets, building furniture, meal plans, outreach preperation, etc, etc. Please be praying for Angela and I as we make sure everything is in order!
