Public School Ministry Update!!

This week I have had the opportunity to engage several students with the word. Several of these students have been branded has hopeless or impossible kids. Some of these kids simply have a bad family life, and with the current economic problems it places extra strain on their parents.

Yesterday I worked with the intervention department. This is the schools equivalent of a police station. They bring all the kids that get into fights, disrupt class, harass the teacher, harass other students etc.. Policy states that no student shall violate another students right to learn.

I was called to pick up two kids from music class yesterday that got into a fist fight. It's funny how the aggressor is the one that always claims to be innocent. Just like our kids at church eh. Once brought in to IR you have to interview the student...and many times you find out that most of these kids have some major things going on in their lives. If you don't mind being branded as a cop then its really a great place to minister.

Sometimes I find my self really feeling troubled at all the obstacles facing these kids. Nevertheless many of the teachers feel that angels fly around this school. You know I agree.

Please pray for this school. I can't mention it by name,because I don't want to blow my cover. If you would like to know you can email me at keithandcornelia@gmail.com.

God bless you all!!!!!
