Many that I spoke to expressed that sentiment.
I talked to a 17 year old boy about starting school Tuesday morning. He had dropped out this year and not started back. So why not start again? It going to be better than hanging out at the camp, it is a chance to set things right. We talked for quite a while and it is beginning to set in. His life can be different. Gangs are not running the school, the neighborhood. He can leave all that back in the water. It was incredible to see the reality of his new situation sink in to him. After seeing the brutal horror of gang life in its full blown action, there has to be a better way.

(way cool)
You are bringing us amazing stories, that I'd hoped we would begin to hear. Thank you so much for that!
Prayers that God will continue to use you.
I just had this feeling in my heart, and you are proving it true.
Those who had no hope, no change, no love....this tragedy is giving them a whole new life. A chance to start all over from scratch and do things differently.
I really needed to read that today. Thank you.
You are certainly doing the Lord's work!
