RSC LOGO

Miracles happened in our Flourishing Families class this week. Three of the nine couples that we had in attendance indicated that they were involved in gangs.  Another one had stepped away from the gang life within the last year.  During class, one brave guy asked the question, "How am I supposed to turn my back on the people who have been like a family to me?"  Suddenly, everyone in class was paying attention and was involved in the conversation.  By the end of class, everyone realized that they wanted a better life for their child.

A few days later, one of the male participants called one of our class hosts.  During the conversation he revealed that he had not smoked any marijuana, worn red or hung out with any of his gang-affiliated friends since he attended our class.

Once again, we continue to work with the people who need us the most.
