You may have heard that the gangs in the next town from us were in a bad fight with the local police and a small group of military in the town of Ganthier. Ganthier is about nine miles from us. These brave police and others held back the gangs, wounding some of them and killing some. The gangs have taken over so many houses of the poor in Ganthier that it was impossible to count all the families who were homeless, due to the gangs taking their homes!

As we were driving in yesterday from the area of the Dominican Republic, we saw hundreds of families walking to find a place to stay. Some were carrying blankets, or pots and pans along with babies. They are sleeping in empty buildings, in vacant rooms, under trees… anywhere they can find.

Today, our older Love A Child kids collected blankets, towels, clothing, and sheets from our warehouse to distribute to them. They filled up our flatbed and took off. Look for pictures later and pray that the Lord will give us victory over the gangs. You will never know what it means to us when you pray…
