the who the what the how the when and the why

these are things i need you all to desparately be praying for. there is so much need here. and the leadership here.. is tired. is frustrated. ppl are beyond themselves and its getting more clear as things begin to start, that i am the new fresh face, with the magical answers and cures and new ideas to change everything.. now.. these expectations are very unrealistic, and very unspoken, but they are still there.. even a little bit.. something needs to break. something needs to happen here.. nothin is gettin thru to these teens and ppl are so tired of trying different things and the same things.. and not seeing anything happen. desparation basically is the general feeling from the ppl here, and its understandable, but really.. there is hope for these kids.. there are things that God knows can happen, and i need wisdom and revelation to find out what those things are, as they are looking to me now...

like all the kids want to do in club, is smoke, throw things at cars.. throw food.. choke each other.. swear.. fight, etc... and its just everywhere you go.. like yesterday i was out, just waiting in a van for some ppl to come with us, and just looking around me, were kids everywhere.. it like 40 somethin degrees out and these kids are runnin around barely dressed... young kids, unsupervised, watching babies in strollers... they're climbin on cars and dancin ontop of them.. and then in the flats (really ghetto aptartments) that were just there, there were all these lads on each of the levels, boys couldnt have been more than 11 years old.. and here they are all smokin, drinkin.. causin trouble.. throwin the bottles into the little play park below.. smashin bottles all over the place.. shoutin obscenities at the ppl walkin by.. and this... is so normal that i dont even bat an eye anymore.. but then i stop and think and im like, this is not good.. life for these ppl as they know it, is this.. it is drugs.. it is alcohol. it is fighting. it is muggings.. all from when they are out of the womb.

then they come to us.. and we expect them to listen, and have a clue how to act and behave and have respect.. and they dont.. then theres me.. and in a few short weeks ill be taking over the teenage club... and the ppl here are so desparate for God to do a new thing and for something to change.. and that responsibility lies on me.....

so.. pray for vision. for wisdom. for revelation. for new ideas. pray for God to show me what to do. how to work with these kids.. where they are at. what they need.. how to break thru to them. for God to work and move.. becuz we have no idea.. we need God.. i am desparate... so pray. please pray.. this is what i ask. thank you.
