Had a mini-reunion with the kids at Carolina Park today ... but they´re fighting an awful lot amongst themselves and get discouraged and/or angry instantly. They´ve been unsure of me ever since we had that "soccer ball incident" over a year ago,, but keep daring to try when we bump into each other.
My options with those kids are the following:
1) Maria del Carmen is working with the city´s program for street kids,, and there is somebody she knows who works their sector... if I could get them involved for consistency (and for men to work with them would be better).
2) Gabriel House kids,,, but rather than them helping me with these guys, the conversations so far have been how I can help them with their guys. For all the different types of ministry I´ve been doing, and because guys really need to be working with guys at this level,,, I´m continuing to pray this one through.
3) Mauricio at my church (República). He´s always been interested in helping, but we´ve not been able to concrete it. There´s Rafael, too (Schario family met him one Sunday). The two of those guys from República could really be a wonderful option --- trusting we could get a regular, committed schedule going.
Thank you for keeping, Miguel, Jhon, David, Guillermo, Jefferson, Brayan and Paul close in your prayers. Their hearts are wanting to be soft (I can tell),,, but they´ve got to put on a super-tough front to face the kind of environment they´re in all day, every day. Unfortunately, instead of being each other´s best friends, they´re turning into their own worst enemies. They don´t understand that God can help them out with all that,,, yet.
