We are now into our third week of the street gangs’ ministry. It is exciting but very challenging for me because of the lack of English that the gangs know. However, what is funny is that because of that we can talk about anything, pretty much, weather it be related to God or not, and they have no idea.
What was going on before was that we would go and get the youth from the area where they would be doing "standby." After the second week of living in the apartment in their area they just showed up, right next our place.
To be honest this is great but, having people constantly, show up is emotionally frustrating, and I am sure everyone has experiences with that.
As of now, we are planning to rent a pool and go for an outing with the youth. We will probably take a max of 10 kids, plus the 3 of us, and maybe some friends, so we will have probably 15ish people.
We have spent night after night just being with them and building trust, I can see it already, and I am very excited. I am building relationships regardless of the fact that we have a lot of trouble understanding each other.
