Outside Light on Thursday Light is proving to be succesful. We are starting
to forge some good relationships with the local kids and have had the
opportunity to hold some interesting conversations and gain an understanding
on what's happening in their lives. Some of the kids, who at the beginning
didnt want to talk to us, are starting to open up and its been great to see
this transformation. Last night we had an unusual situation when an
estranged dad turned up and judging by the girl's reaction it wasn't an
entirely welcomed visit. JD explained to him that he couldnt stay as adults
need a valid CRB and after about 10 minutes he went. He looked the worse for
wear. Prayers were said afterwards for the girl and her family.
It's nearly always best at the end of the evening when the kids leave -
several have started to say thanks. Others call us by our name - one lad
(who only a few weeks ago behaved as though he was from another planet)
shook hands!
We also gave up several copies of Tony Anthony's book, Taming the tiger and
we hope and pray that the words leap off the pages and into the hearts of
the readers and we see transformation.
Many thanks and blessings to you all,
John Holland
