Default Where you live~

We are all from so many places I thought it might be interesting for us to share what it is like where we live!

I live in the midwest states. There are no mountains but flatland.
Many farms around too.
But specifically, my neighborhood is about 20 miles south of the capital of my state.
We live in an area where ther are many, many trees and a creek that runs through.
It is a very quiet peaceful neighborhood.
Since I have many children and many pets God has blessed us with a very big house with a very large yard.
Our town is small but growing.
There are people of all races though I don't see very many Asian people in this area.
Crime is fairly low here too.
Sadly, there are some punks who run the streets causing trouble now and then.
I am not a big city person and would love to live out in the woods someday!


What is it like where you live?

The place where I live, Croydon, is quite depressing. We have massive crime rates, a lot of race wars, particularly black on black, black on white, and black on asian violence.

Croydon is a large city, just outside of the capital of London, and the capital stations can be reached by train in 15 minutes. Croydon is the home of the Home Office and Imigration, leading to a huge diversity of cultures in Croydon, but with this, comes high crime.

We have regular stabbings and murder reports, as well as thefts and muggings. Croydon is not a safe place to live. We also have the highest teenage pregnancy rates in the whole of London, and one of the highest in Britain.

Croydon is becoming notorious for loutish behaviour, crime, and unsavoury people, especially due to it's massive nightlife scene.

HOWEVER, the encouraging thing is, when the doomsday book was written in ye olde times, one thing written about Croydon was "There is a church in Croydon". God definately has his hand over Croydon.

In recent times, Croydon churches have realised the need for God to move in Croydon, and regular prayer meetings have been set up between Croydon churches to pray for Croydon on the whole. The first one is being hosted next Wednesday at my church! It's a very exciting time!

Schemes like the one I've just mentioned have been started in some locations around London, and in Manchester, and crime rates have dropped, just through prayer!

I can't wait to come back and tell you all of how God is moving in Croydon!

I live in Malaysia, that's a country located in South-East Asia.
Islam is the official religion for Malaysia, and Christians are considered a minority, although we're not that few in number. However, we do have the freedom to practice our own religions.
Malaysia is a multi-racial country comprised by people from different races with different cultural backgrounds. The 3 main ethnic groups are the Malays, Chinese and Indians. I am a Chinese.
What more do you want to know about my country?

I live in Niles, Ohio and I really cant stand it here. My neighborhood is filled with drugs and things of that such. I wanna move as soon as I turn 18 to get away from all the temptations here. But yeah, I dont really enjoy it here at all.
