Just a quick two notes for prayer:
1. I'm taking the Homeboy team to a Youth Authority prison in Ventura county this morning. We'll tour it and meet a number of incarcerated youth and interact with them. Pray for a powerful time.
2. On that note, pray for God to move all the interns and team leaders of LAUP into real compassion that moves them to action. A number of them are struggling to let the stories of poverty and injustice trouble their hearts, but are feeling like they can't relate. My sense is that this is the critical breakthrough of the summer for many of them. We'll focus on helping them this week, but please pray for God's Spirit to break their hearts.

Just an update...the trip was incredible. The most moving aspect of the summer so far. Every Christian I know should visit a prison and really see what's happening there. It moved our whole team to see the ways that deep pain and brokenness aren't dealt with adequately in our culture...instead victims of abuse and pain pay the price for being stuck in their pain and brokenness.
Tomorrow night we'll have a time of corporate learning about compassion, and a time of lament for the pain of poverty and injustice. Keep praying!
