chris deering and aaron smith got assaulted tonight after a basketball game with some brothas down the street... they beat chris and aaron down and pistol whipped them...
aaron ran 7 blocks to Chase House to get me...
i drove him down chase to where chris lay fallen.
on the way to help chris, as some of us were running down there they heard one of the neighborhood people say, "...going to see your friend?"
the cops were already there...
they had chris in a bedroom with paramedics patching him up
chris was really beat up. his face swollen, blood all over his shirt, his hand cut open...
aaron had blood from a headwound on his hands and collar
he and aaron went to Good Samaritan Hospital
chris challis' house dedication on the corner of chase and williamson was last night.
we've come to the attention of the hood...
chris challis has constant knocks on his door, and threatening looks from neighbors...
your prayers will make a difference, here...
we'll keep you posted...
last month, Michael, a young christian, got punched right in the face as he went down Chase Ave...
do you get it? this is a little taste of what it means to follow Christ.

That brings sadness to my heart, but the light shines in the darkness and the darkness will not overcome it. Those who have done this do not know what they do. Father forgive them. Let the suffering of Chris and Aaron fill up what is lacking in your sufferings and be offered for the redemption of those who attacked them. Let it be Lord, Please come! Keep lettin' the light shine!!!

Hard dose of reality. We will be praying for you all.
