In the midst of writing a blog update about Tunnel Vision, multiple incidents have unfolded in the Kenmore community that greatly affect our students. A blog update from Tunnel Vision will come soon, but for now I will inform you of the immediate need for prayer.
Ashley, a teen mom that I have previously wrote about, lost her grandmother this week in tragic accident. She was very close to her grandma due to being raised by her. Calling hours are today. Please be in prayer as Ashley has a lot of unanswered questions. Yesterday she stopped in the office and had mentioned to me that she knows the leaders of First Glance really love and care about her. We do! I was thankful that she was able to realize that.
Yesterday another tragedy happened as a local male teen was shot and killed. A female student that has been around First Glance for awhile was the one that found his body as she was returning home from school. I was able to talk with her this morning and I would have to say it was one of the toughest conversations I have ever had in ministry. She is extremely broken. She spoke of the many nightmares she had last night and how it was the worst experience that she has ever had.
Many of our students knew him. Please pray for his family, our students, and our greater community that have all been greatly affected by this tragedy. Also, it has been said that he has been a part of gang activity as well. Please also pray for threats of retaliation and circumstances to come.
