To Write Love on Her Arms
I was wondering if any pastors or youth pastors had heard of this movement?
"To Write Love on Her Arms"
This is the Vision Statement
http://www.twloha.com/vision/
This is the Story and a couple of excerpts
http://www.twloha.com/vision/story/
"Renee is 19. When I meet her, cocaine is fresh in her system. She hasn't slept in 36 hours and she won't for another 24. It is a familiar blur of coke, pot, pills and alcohol. She has agreed to meet us, to listen and to let us pray. We ask Renee to come with us, to leave this broken night. She says she'll go to rehab tomorrow, but she isn't ready now. It is too great a change. We pray and say goodbye and it is hard to leave without her."
"The nurse at the treatment center finds the wound several hours later. The center has no detox, names her too great a risk, and does not accept her. For the next five days, she is ours to love. We become her hospital and the possibility of healing fills our living room with life. It is unspoken and there are only a few of us, but we will be her church, the body of Christ coming alive to meet her needs, to write love on her arms."

Re: To Write Love on Her Arms
Is this anything like what David Wilkerson did years ago for addicts and gang members?

Cindy,
I am not really sure- I think it more to bring awareness to teens who are depressed and how we can help them...

That is awesome- we have a lot of kids at school who wear the shirts and at first I was wondering what it was about-
I love when God uses the unexpected to do the impossible!
