Pics from La Fosa. La Fosa ("the hole") is a neighborhood where some of the poorest of the poor live. Because the gang problem is so prevalent (and exploding) in San Salvador, a group of young men - some former gang members - called "The Disciples" goes into neighborhoods like this sharing the gospel, distributing Bibles and food, performing dramas, and breakdancing...all to show the people there (who have little hope) that there is great hope in the Lord. They are an awesome group of young men who are trying to role model to the younger boys in these neighborhoods (who get recruited into gangs as young as 9-12 yrs old) that there is life and hope outside of gang life.
THE PEOPLE OF LAFOSA (my apologies for the side-ways pics - still trying to correct those!)
