Eastleigh Streets

The core work of Made in the Streets is done on the streets where street children and street youth sleep.  Team members are there every day to meet new kids, to evangelize older youth and to find young teenagers who are good candidates for our boarding programs.  

They often find older youth sleeping or adrift on drugs at the bases.  When they find sober youth, they teach Bible lessons and 

give testimony about God's love and power in their own lives.  

Often the bases are up against a wall of an apartment building, and sometimes 25

 to 30 of varying ages will sleep there -- from 7 years old up to 25 years old, a

nd some of them will have babies or toddlers.  In this picture Kennedy Ouma has been teaching Bible and conti

nues to share with the young people; Anthony sits nearby - he usually gives a testimony of honor to God for His work in Anthony's life.  

Anthony prays for a young man who wants to make a commitment.  He has asked for help and for prayers that he can stop using glue and other drugs.  He wants to have a fresh start and be able to learn a skill so that he can leave the streets.  As long as he stays on the drugs, he will be stuck on the streets. 

Thanks to Larry Conway for these pictures, taken on this week's visits to various bases in Eastleigh.
