So it's been a crazy few weeks, we started Sidewalk and so my free time seems few and far between. Praise God that all my time is in His work!
On a serious note, a lot has happened in the last week in a half. So you all can be aware and pray, there have been at least four murders in the last two weeks here in Brooklyn. One was a young man who had grown up in our Yogi Bear Sidewalk Sunday School ministry, left New York for a few years and had just came back, re-dedicated his life to God at church Sunday, then the following Tuesday was shot and murdered. Another being a mother and daughter in Coney Island, and another being a women who was stabbed and left in her bathtub. This is all around us here in Brooklyn, and so please be praying. It's by no means a reason to be scared or to want to come home, but completely a reason to know that this is why I, and all of us are here. The kids, their families need to hear God's word, and see His love, because the next day or week, they may not be with us anymore. So please, here their cry through this blog and pray for them, fast even if you feel lead. And again to all of you who have sponsored me through money or prayers thank you from the bottom of my heart.
You're fantastic jessi. I'm so proud of you being you there making it happen and being the word of god through you. My prayers are with you and the people their as well keep it up and let that spirit lead you. much love
