On most afternoons we got to know a group of kids at an apartment project in Houston’s “Fifth Ward.”

We sang songs, did skits, Bible memory verses, played games, made crafts and sweated a lot!

Wednesday night we served at “Street Reach” in the geographic center of Houston, the Montrose district.

It is probably the most wicked neighborhood in the city with homeless, drugs, gays, transvestites and prostitutes.

SST pulls all staff and students out of their box of comfortable life. It says, “We're GOING on outreach this particular week. We WILL go to people and ask what they want prayer for.”  That doesn't happen in daily life where we blend in the world and do our own thing.

Our group also made time just to pray over specific places in town.

We stood outside the new Planned Parenthood facility; the largest abortion mill in the U.S. God was praised as we called for the forces of darkness to be broken and lives to be spared.
