Oscar

During the week Andrew had been praying for one of his favourite kids who he hadn't seem in ages. As he was out in the car one day he saw the kid and called him over. It was obviously God! Oscar's brother who was still living on the streets had been imprisoned and the family is having to pay money (that they don't have) to visit him, to take food to him, to ensure he doesn't get beaten up in the prison etc. and they say he is innocent. It seems here that following an accusation you are guilty until proven innocent and so there will be several court hearings before a decision is made. Meanwhile Oscar's brother will stay in th prison. As you can imagine Oscar desperately needed to talk and through time in the Drop-In centre with Andrew and Fidel he was greatly encouraged (as was Andrew to see him again).

Pray that justice will be done in this situation but pray for these two boys. They are great guys, about 19/20 years old. Pray that this will be a wake-up call for them both and that in the midst of this situation God would speak to them both and that they would clearly give their lives over to Him.

Hey guys, praying for Oscar and his family, and also still praying for guys out there too, you're doing such a good work and I'm so encouraged by it. Keep blogging away, I love to hear how things are going. I'll definately be back not in the too distant future!

God Bless
