Boy's Town Update: "Groundbreaking News"Jonny Nott - 5 Nov 2007

You may remember the news in September of this year about 24-7's Kelly Green purchasing land in Reynosa (Boy's Town), Mexico.  On this land, Kelly plans to construct a building that will house a Boiler Room community seeking to reach and disciple surrounding pimps and prostitutes.

This continuing news just in from Kelly:

"We break ground tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow morning, a wonderful group from my home church, Believers Church, will begin pouring cement for the foundation.

"But let me back up about 4 weeks... While I was in Spain with 24-7 Prayer, some amazing friends here began clearing the land and doing the hard work of digging footings so the team could pour a foundation this week. Some of the people who helped were boys from the neighborhood! Some were people who had recently been deported from the United States who are trying to earn money to go back to their homes. They gave freely of their time and services, believing that God would take care of them if they chose to trust Him.  Miraculously, chicken and ice cream showed up at their shelter that night, for "the people who helped clear Kelly's land," and we still don't know who it was from!

"I'll post updates this week on the process...thanks for your prayers!"
