As many of you know the street boys of Jeffrey’s Bay have captivated my heart. The Lord has placed an intense love for them and we are realizing that our time with them is dwindling. The longer I am here the more I realize I have barely scratched the surface of the issues that are prevelant. I am realizing that we are a small drop in a very large bucket and that the pain in these boys lives goes deeper than I could ever imagine. Sometimes it is overwhelming to consider all the pain that is engrained into the street boys lives; such cyclical sin that I am dizzy from trying to find out where the cut off is. The saying is true, “we can do no great things, only small things with great love.” God is bringing me to the conclusion that our rold in the boys lives is to be faithful in claiming truth over their lives. So we are striving to be faithful and to making the most of every opportunity. We want to pour as much into these boys as we can before we leave, so…
We are putting together books for each of the street boys, we want to fill the books with prayers, the ways that we have seen them grow, and stories from our time with them. I would love for them to realize that people from all across the world are praying for them. The idea is to collect letters and prayers, so if anyone who reads this is interested and would like to encourage the boys and speak truth over them please consider sending in your prayers in written form.
If you are interested please send your prayers and encouragement to me at: [email protected]
The sooner we can put the books together the better so it would be great to get the letters in within the week. I am going to list the boys names below and hopefully soon I will post a blog with information about each of them.
