What does it mean to stand in the gap?

In ancient Biblical times, a wall was the best means of protection, Ezekiel 22:30.

If there was a breach in the wall, the defenders would have to swarm to that location and hold the breach. If a breach was left unattended or un-repaired,

the city could fall!

WYN stood in the gap on behalf of the students, families and teachers during the recent 11 school day Chicago Teachers Union strike!  We adjusted our schedule from after school hours to daytime hours to provide a loving safe place for children to go during the day during the Chicago Public School strike.  Breakfast and lunch were served, enrichment field trips taken, birthday celebrations, Bible review and team building activities filled our days.

We thank GOD for the resources and the availability to meet the needs of community.

Thank you for standing in the gap with us,

we could not do it alone!

WYN is located directly across the street from our local public school.  So, during the strike WYN opened our doors and provided a warm cup of coffee and a warm facility for our Teachers.
