Buenos Dias!
We didn´t meet with the gang members who said they´d be there on Tuesday- very disappointed about that, yet God had other divine appointments for us, especially Amos who kept speaking into other young men´s lives. Yesterday, Wednesday, we found out why the gang members didn´t come, they came to see us and said they had been caught and put in jail that night! So they came by and Sandy and Amos had a strong conversation with them- they are totally in the hands and stronghold of the devil, yet they know the Truth, but the demonic strongholds are more than we can handle today. They will come back today, Thursday, to keep talking to amos. It´s amazing to see these rough kids paying attention to Amos words- 2 days ago amos was talking to 5 of them, and another one was off to the distance listening to what he had to say, but he didn´t want to come by. The next day he came to amos and said he wanted to talk to him- he said that he was about to go buy drugs but that there was something in Amos´words that stopped him and he didn´t go get high… he accepted Christ yesterday!!!!
The students went door to door yesterday and it was scary for them and we pushed them hard to be bold, and they did a great job! Many people accepted Christ and many people rejected strongly. Jesus is not for those who need it, but for those who want and take Him!
Most of the students are being broken and God has opened their eyes to His big plan for all of humanity. They are being changed drop by drop- their minds and hearts are questioning everything about American Christianity. They are wrestling with themselves and their lives and circumstances. They are wrestling with God about their purpose in life. It is the highlight of my week to see the eyes of their understanding changed every day- I couldn´t have prayed for anything more. I could die and go to heaven now!
Pray for us today re. the gang members. WE praise God for your prayers because the FAVOR of God is upon us! We couldn´t have asked for anything more before these guys who are in the pit of hell and God wants to rescue them.
The van is here, gotta go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our love and prayers are with you all. Please share with the team that they are the future leaders of our church (local and beyond) and as such, being prepared through such experiences as this. Please let them know I believe in them. May they see the world forever more through the eyes of God.
Reading the updates has been the hightlight of my week! I am thrilled to hear how the students have been responding to their circumstances. Many of us are praying many times a day for all of you. Can't wait to hear all the stories when you get back.
I praise Jesus for what He is doing in and through you guys. We are standing with you all in the spirit and asking Jesus to speak to those young men. He can, I can tell you first hand. Hail the Lamb, He is worthy!
