Hi, The same recommendation as in any other neighborhood.  Turn about to seek God, ask of the Holy Spirit to show the gospel of Jesus, that  each may know Him, acknowledge him as Lord and be saved. For regardless of any neighborhood, any situation, one's soul may be required of them at any moment.

Go the extra step of praying for those that are the intruders, the criminals, too.

All the what if's of life circumstances do not change the need to be turned about from sin against God to worship of Jesus as Lord, God, and personal savior.

 

When my Father was murdered July 17 1993.   I prayed for his murders and visited them in prison.  They accept Christ as Lord and Savior.

Thanks for your prayers and advice all.

Amen. A very hard thing that is awesome testimony of surprisingly so many Christians that are left as survivors after great harm befalls family  friend or self.

What advice would you have a family in that neighborhood?  

Thieves are lazy. So you make your home more difficult to break into and they will go onto the next house. They usually have a small pry bar that they can fit in their boot. So you have to make sure they can not pop a window or door with their tool. You will see little pry marks where they tired and failed and moved onto the next house. The police use a battering ram, so there is not much of a chance that you can keep them out. But they want to make a lot of noise and commotion.

Yes we can pray for the angels or the Blood of Jesus to protect us. We can also get a guard dog to defer people.  We had a German Shephard growing up and my dad felt that helped to protect his family.

My Dad was an electrician, he wired metal strips on the house at entry points.   That was a shocker for them.

Wow... violent neighborhood. I think I would have been trying to move. With that said I realize that's not always possible, and it sounds like you did the best you could with the resources you had available. Perhaps if your still there consider adding security cameras as a deterrent. Or, at the very least will help bolster your self defense case.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13)

We are not living in Kansas anymore Toto. Society has drastically changed since I grew up in the 1950s. Rioters burning down neighborhoods, gang-bangers, dope heads everywhere that will rob their own relatives for their next fix, much less the common criminals and psychopaths. I never heard anyone ask, “Did you lock the doors?”

As with national borders to keep out uninvited criminals, homes are equipped with windows and doors for a reason—they are the last and final barrier. Anyone breaching them is not there to cook your breakfast; their intent is malevolent and evil. Criminals today know they have the best chance of not being prosecuted if there are no witnesses.

I’ll let it go at that; to each their own.

If I were still there I would get a guard
