Faith on the Streets

Team members of Made in the Streets visit the streets of Eastleigh in Nairobi daily.  They want to meet the new boys and girls who leave home for the streets.  They want to stay in touch with kids they know who live on the streets.  They want to teach all the time so that youth on the streets will always have opportunity to change their lives.  

They often play sports with some of the street kids, and Francis writes the following note after a soccer game one day.  

"On Thursday last week, we had sports with the older boys. When we got back to the centre, Anthony told me that one of the guys -- Francis Njenga -- was ready to be baptized. I spend a few minutes talking to him and then baptized him. He said he wanted to stop using Glue and Marijuana because they were affecting him and because his brother died from over-using them. I encouraged 

him to know this was a decision between him and God. He left happy and we pray for him and the many others out there in the bases. We are also thankful that ONE MORE soul has been won for Christ."

Here is Francis' baptism picture.  Please pray for power in the Spirit for him to make the changes he wants to make.
