Love It When They Get a Job

 We have many goals for students at Made in the Streets.  We want them to walk with Jesus and trust God with the whole heart.  We want them to have good friendships and become good husbands and wives.  We also want them to get a job.  And we are thrilled, we feel a sense of victory when it happens.

Last week Moses Okoth, our computer trainer, went to a store in the city where we earlier bought the monitors for our virtual library.  He talked with the owner and told him about the street ministry and how we are training some street kids in computers.  The owner said, "Some people are doing good work, you are doing a great work!"  Then he asked Moses to bring in a student.  So on Monday Moses went in with Joseph Mburu to introduce him to the owner.  The owner said, "I thought you'd forgotten."  Then he told Moses to go away, to step over to the side.  He pulled out a laptop computer that had not had software put on it.  Then he sat Joseph down at the table, handed him a CD and said, "Install this program."  And Joseph did it!  So the owner hired him on the spot and put him to work.  That is, after arranging with Joseph for his salary, and he also agreed to pay Joseph's fare to and from work.  

So we say, "well done, Moses" and "hurrah, Joseph."  And thank you, Lord, for another blessing.
