I have seen some powerful things transpire in the lives of the youth and their families over the last couple of months. One of those children, Erica, is 7-years-old and her father, Eric, is 24. In March we launched our community outreach with a huge party in Dunbar Village, a housing development in the inner-city of West Palm Beach, where Erica was in attendance.
Later that night, when Eric and I dropped his daughter off at home, Eric sparked a conversation with me about matters of faith. He said that God has been pulling on his heart and that he wanted to change his ways.
Eric told me that he had been dealing drugs and running with gangs for twelves years -- half his life. He and I talked for about 20 minutes and then I left. I later learned that half an hour later, Eric was found lying in the street. He had been shot seven times at point blank range by a .357 Magnum.
But that wasn't the end of Eric's story. He not only recovered from his wounds but also gave his life to the Lord! He and I now meet twice a week for accountability and prayer. He is truly bearing the fruit of repentance! Please pray that God will reveal His purpose for Eric's life. Also, please pray for his daughter, Erica. Pray that God will keep a hedge of protection around their entire family and pour His Spirit in their hearts.
