Story number 4 for 23 Jan 2002

(Venezuela)–Meanwhile, as the number of street children grows in Venezuela, Christians are giving them hope. Latin America Mission workers Greg and Christina Burch are rescuing young boys from the streets and juvenile detention centers in an effort to see lives transformed. Through residential youth centers, they’re able to give them the hope of the Gospel, while providing food, lodging and education. Pray that finances will allow LAM to build more youth homes and that more people would be willing to serve as substitute parents for these troubled youth.
