Supporters,
I want to first thank you so much for your ongoing prayers. We had
another attempted breakin a few days ago when, while I was sleeping,
someone attempted to break in through my screen window, waking me up.
We managed to be safe and were amazed that the thieves returned again
last night. We had placed an alarm on one of our buildings which
allowed our boys to get a running start (the thieves are bold, it was
about 9pm and we were still standing in the courtyard). One of the
thieves literally ran out of his shoes and the boys were able to get a
general description. We are pleased with the quick police response
during this breakin (typically the island police are understaffed and
take up to an hour to respond). The ladies are currently sleeping off
the base until we are more secured. We see this as an ongoing issue
but press in as we are coming off a month of children's ministries and
seeking further community involvement and are assured God's vision for
this island is to bring freedom. We at Youth with a Mission St Croix
thank you for your prayers of protection and covering, as well as for
discernment as we secure our fenceline, get a dog, and do nightly
rounds. Also please pray for us as staff to remain united, and
supported and also for our level of physical energy as our sleep has
been minimal. We thank St Croix Christian Church for their support.
Also we praise God that the hurricane is now scheduled north of our
small island.
God bless, Alissa
