It’s hard to describe what life has been like in our neighborhood during these past two months. I’d like to try though… the ground level perspective of someone who lives here. I haven’t seen or experienced this level of stress and turmoil in the community since the George Floyd protests. If you can imagine… being woken up frequently from your slumber by what begins as warning whistles shrilling through the air, which is soon accompanied by car horns and angry shouts, an escalating cacophony of indignation, anger and protest....

Someone asked me recently, “So who’s gonna continue the work of Christ’s Children when you are done?” I have no concerns about this particular work continuing. All the hundreds of boys who have come through this ministry have heard the gospel of Christ in a personal way, a relational way, and in a way that fit their life context… a way that they would hear and understand....
