Went fishing the other day . . .


& hooked a big one.

Say hello to Ivan.

Ivan is 15 & is our newest boy @ the boys' home!

One of the greatest thrills in working w/ street kids is seeing them decide to come off the streets & literally see the light return to their eyes.

Such was the case w/ Ivan, who already has come a long way since coming off the streets & arriving at our boys' home 2 weeks ago. After spending the last 4 years of his life on the streets & addicted to drugs - & having listened to years of prompting & prayers from many folks leading up to one decisive moment - Ivan made the decision to come off of the streets 2 weeks ago & is fitting in nicely at the boys' home, 'El Camino.' Ivan during his time on the streets developed a very serious drug habit, & has struggled a bit w/ withdrawal symptoms - but so far has overcome the urge to go back to life on the streets. Please join us in praying for Ivan that he would continue to persevere, will choose to give his heart to the Lord, & embrace the Life that Christ longs for each of us to have.
