Need Help for a Brother in Our Network

I am going to keep this brief. Terrence, my brother who has been walking with Jesus two years now, and who is one of the most passionate and obedient church planters I'm seeing God raise up, is in a difficult situation. He is in Los Angeles. His mother is in Philadelphia. She is being basically held hostage in her duplex. Some people who live in the adjoining apartment have told her that if she leaves her apartment, they'll kill her - this has happened many times and they have shot at her. She has lung problems and is sick, lives alone, and doesn't have a support network in Philadelphia. Well, yesterday she texted me and said she feels like giving up. The young man in the group told her he was coming to get her "bitch" and that when he saw her, he'd shoot her and kill her.

Can we rally together and do something for this woman? Maybe you know someone in Philly who can get to her and help?! Maybe you just had a plane ticket donated to you or you've got a frequent flier ticket you can give away. I would love to send Terrence home for a week to help his mother. He's not in classes right now and could go, but is poor and can't afford a ticket.

This is an awesome chance for those connected to nomad to do something for this family.

God bless - Keep running! We have been trasfered from the domain of darkness to the kingdom of God's beloved Son! Let's get forceful together!

PS She is calling the police, and she has been calling them for weeks and weeks. When they come, they don't do anything to deter the terrorism, and it ends up worse for her because it angers her neighbors so. I have counseled her to bug them until she gets a thorough response, but at this point I'm not sensing God needs to send law enforcement - he needs to mobilize his church! Please consider what you can do prayerfully!!

Here is a story about Terrence's involvement in our church network:
