Wednesday, July 13th, 2005Our LA LA interns returned to Cali today. To Edgar, Michelle, Joe, Artia, April, Ignacio, Kristin, Gayleah, and Yolanda: you will be missed.

Note from a volunteer
Wednesday, July 6th, 2005I found this randomly online. I didn’t even know a group called The Wave USA had volunteered at Xcel. (We benefit greatly from the various volunteer groups that stay at Abounding Grace.) Very cool. “I actually only did two days at Generation Xcel. I wish I had done more though. … Even after only two [...]

Proud Poppa
Friday, June 24th, 2005Saturday’s Crusade program featured two videos profiling six New York City teens who love Jesus. Four of the six are dear friends of mine. Three are from Generation Xcel: Loreal Torres, Amanda DeJesus, and Eric Velez. Lori I’ve known for twelve or so years, Amanda for eight or nine, and Eric for four. All were [...]
This is the deal that just went right
Thursday, June 16th, 2005Miracles always come from unexpected places. On Tuesday night, for example, a friend and his wife wanted to present me with a financial gift for Generation Xcel. First they shared their story. Both husband and wife are LES lifers, born and raised. He and his five brothers were thugs, running a wholesale drug business that [...]
