So, today we didn't have any programme in the community so we decided to do something a little different. God has been opening the doors in the teenage detention centres over the last year. So today we entered through these open doors with our DTS (Discipleship Training School) and had an AWESOME time.
We went into two different detention centres, one in the morning were our goal was FUN!! The DTS began with presenting themselves and then doing a drama then we enjoyed some time with 14 teenage boys. We did the sack race - was all fun until they made me and Helen participate!! Then 'Capture the flag' and of course football!!! In the end we finished by telling them how special they are to God and one of the boys prayed. It's so powerful to hear the boys pray...

Then after lunch we headed for a second detention centre nearly an hours drive away. We know 4 boys from the streets who are serving time there. Today was 'visit day' so there were some family members there. The DTS team presented some worship, a drama and a testimony, then they called forward anyone who wanted to receive prayer. At the end we handed out to each person (including the guards) a book of the Gospel of John. It was super encouraging to see many participating and sharing their stories with the team.
