just wanted to send another update and ask everyone to keep praying. the riots are still pretty bad all around the city and they say they will get worse tonight. our boys who were out in the city for school made it back. they had to walk for 4 hours and are all pretty shaken up by the violence they witnessed not to mention the tear gas they had to endure. one of the boys who works in my garden, manuel, passed out on the street while walking back and the other boys had to get him up and make him keep walking.
the power around the city has been cut off as well. at the center, we are running on a generator but we will run out of gas soon. some of the men have ventured out to try and buy more but all of the gas stations have shut down and many of them have been destroyed. it really is chaos out on the streets. but again i want to stress that i am perfectly safe and all of the children are fine. we have guards that work 24 hours a day and they will be watching the walls very closely tonight to make sure no one comes into the center.
please keep praying for peace to be restored to the city. many of the younger kids are quite scared by the gun fire and smoke everywhere so pray that the peace of the Lord would guard their (and all of our) hearts and minds. and continue to pray that the angels of God would surround this center.
thanks everyone and i'll update you again soon (as long as the power/internet is still on). love you all!!!!
