4.30 at MITS

  We are so excited about the 4.30 Classes -- we are doing month-long units in Bible, Business and Computers.  Our skills training students come weekdays from 4:30 to 5:15.  We are doing 5 units in each area (that is 20 classes per unit) -- Bible is 1) business ethics, 2) personal counseling, 3) relationships at work, 4) serving Jesus on your job and 5) relationships outside of work.  Business is 1) getting a job, 2) keeping a job, 3) accounting without a computer, 4) marketing and 5) secretarial.  Computer is 1) personal finance, 2) small business finance,   3) business English, 4) appropriate use of technology and 5) office computing.  

  We have someone writing Bible 1 and 2 and 4, Business 1 and 2 and Computer 1 and 4.  We need you to help us with one of these courses.  Essentially it is a one-page lesson plan for 20 days for a Unit, with a Scripture for memory, a purpose statement, methods to use in class, activity /discussion /small group, etc.  

  Please look at the blog at  www.made-in-the-streets.blogspot.com  at Moses Okoth's great article about the 4.30 class in computer that he is teaching.  You will see how valuable it is.

We try to give honor where it is due.  This month Joel Njue, our student affairs director at MITS, is receiving an honor in church for his role in the Sunday school and in development of Vacation Bible Schools at Kamulu.  He has also taken students on many trips to do VBS at village churches, and they have been happily received.  

Besides leading worship at Kamulu Church, Joel also spends some time in Eastleigh each week on the streets.  Here he is a Rounda Base - he's the one on the left in the white cap.  

We are truly proud of the men and women who serve, at low pay (we call it ministerial, but not the kind in government), the street children of Nairobi.  How wonderful the feet of those who walk through garbage to tell the Good News!
