Last night we parked on the street and I was carrying my kids into the house (they fell asleep on the way home). before I knew it there were 3 or 4 gangbangers chasing a rival gang's car down the street, banging beer bottles against parked cars and hollering. Here I am rushing to get my kids inside before any drama kicks off and we get caught in crossfire.

Where are the families? Where are the parents? I know many of these kids have only strung out addict single parents at home, or maybe their drug dealer uncle is taking care of them, no parents at all. This is why we're here, to see marriages stay together, to see families transformed. This area can be transformed if we can see God transform the families.
