This week saw kids from Niños Heroes coming for the first time and they will be regulars. Andrew even saw a kid that he met back in 2001 and hasn't seen since.
The team went round to where the La Raza group lives for a very exciting afternoon. The group there had painted a large mural of 'Saint Death' (or the Grim Reaper to you and me) some time ago but had bought paint and wanted to spruce up the place. The first thing they wanted to do was paint over the mural while asking questions about the Day of the Dead offerings and whether they should or not. It seems that they are putting two and two together and beginning to want to do the godly thing first. We would ask you to pray that soon this would spill over into all areas of their lives. We have been urging them to read the bible together in the evenings too. Praise God for a great atmosphere in the day centre now.
It looks as though more kids are ready to ditch street life so pray for us to be able to maintain the contact through the day program or the Thursday night church services. Andrew had another preach in Spanish on Thursday and a long time to witness to a neighbour at La Raza. He was so interested but didn't want to pray for salvation. He is very eager to come back through. We haven't been able to make the breakthrough that we want yet with the neighbours so please keep praying.
