Shine entered my home a few years ago as a member of the BLOODs gang. Well after many heartaches, and struggles he is now a Christian on his way to college. It all started with the agency SCO calling to find out if they can place another child in my home. A child I had never met but who was already 18 years old. Well I said to myself I knew what I was getting into when I signed up for this so I met him and he moved in. He has accomplished so much since being in my home. After getting kicked out of numerous GED programs he took on the challenge of studying on his own at home and he took the GED and passed it. He also earned a certificate to work as a security guard and he has been promoted a few times since he got the job. He got saved and was baptized. He also passed the entrance exam and was accepted into NYACK COLLEGE. WOW that's a long way from from being a gang member. It's amazing to see the power of God at work in Shine's life. A young man who his family and the world gave up on. He found a new family in Christ and it's made all the difference in the world. Praise God!
