on thursday we had the opportunity to go into a juvenille detention centre. this was a first for me! we did a school assembly set up but we were able to talk openly about God and preach to the young people. afterwards we went to their cells and where allowed to talk and pray with them.
i was talking with 2 girls, one was 17 and the other 16 and had a 1 year old girls at home. they had some questions about God but they said they wanted to start living for him so we prayed for them and encouraged them. a lot of kids would rather keep getting in trouble and being sent back to juvi becasue its better than being at home. for others a couple days is a wake up call and they come out determined to do better!
it was a realy good experience and God definately changed lives in that place!
