What's happening at La Raza these days?

Glad you asked. We had a good week last week ending up with 19 kids on Wednesday. This is hard to handle and 4 of the kids had to be removed for bad behaviour. After that everything was good. We had a team visit us for the day on Monday from Kentucky and 2 kids started their discipleship with Alex. We have had another look at how to use the time with the kids and decided that everyone should be in Discipleship two days of the week apart from the teaching times everyday. We may go for more as we see how the groups respond to time with their mentors.

Thursday night was wonderful. 7 street kids turned up, 7 Haitians and then others from the community adding to a total of 27 people. We are so encouraged. Monday night is a 'Noche Mexicana' (Mexican night) to celebrate Mexican Independance from Spain and so we are teaming up with another UNIFAM church that started out a year before us. They are coming to us on Monday. It will be wonderful to share time with them and eat some the typical foods of the occasion.

So for prayer? We can only ask that you pray for powerful times with the kids in their discipleship times. Pray that Alex, Fidel and Paty will be filled with the Spirit and redeem the time.
