The postings to date, including this one, are copies of emails that I've been using to update church family who have been providing prayer support.
"Sorry to trouble you again. I literally finished my email (sent to you a few minutes ago) and found one in my in-box, please see the extract below. It's from the gentleman that HCPS employs to clear up litter/flytip etc...
"Went over to Woodham Common East to clear beer bottles, spirit bottles as requested. When I arrived about 12 o/clock there were three girls over there who could not have been no more than 16 years old drinking reef (a vodka based alcho pop). I just asked them why they were not in school and they told me that they had 'home study' whatever that is. From what I could see they only thing they were studying was how many bottles it took to become drunk. I did not want to be confrontational so I just left it. Although they did say that it was an older group that were congregating there in the evenings. I did point out to them that this was the third time in as many weeks that I have been clearing up glass, tins, used condoms and it was just unacceptable and that Horsell Common had a no alcohol policy. Someone locally must be selling alcohol to under aged children. I know that this is an on going problem."
I think this nicely encapsulates the problem. The most obvious prayer that I missed off of the earlier request list, is for the kids themselves. Please will you pray with all your heart."
